> [@Shoeless](#): > > [Monty Python] I can’t think of anything more derogatory than “Belgian”![/MP] I have an actual true-life Belgium story. One day on the street in Washington DC I see a couple holding a map and looking confused. I asked if I could help and I got them oriented. I noticed their accent and asked where they were from. The both answered at the same time – “We’re from France.” “We’re from Belgium.” After a couple seconds pause, the one said sheepishly, “Yes, we’re from Belgium” and hung her head in shame. 😛 ---
