I feel the urgent need to post a Dutch joke about Ze Germans:

A Belgian, a Dutchman and a German are captured by Saddam Hussein. They will recieve punishment, 25 beatings with a stick. But because Saddam is in a good mood, they may each make a wish.

The Belgian is first. He askes for a pillow strapped to his back, so he won't feel much of the beating.

It helps a bit, but he still feels a lot of pain.

The German is smarter. He wishes for a mattrass tied to his back. Because of the mattrass he doesn't feel a thing of the beatings. He even laughs!

Now it's the Dutchman's turn. But Saddam says, because he likes Dutch people so much, he may have two wishes.

So the Dutchman speaks his first wish: "I want 100 beatings with the stick!"

Saddam says that he is crazy, but his wish will be granted. Before the beating the Dutchman askes for his second wish.

Saddam askes "What is it?"

The Dutchman says: "Before you start to beat me, I want the German to be tied to my back!"
