If I had a dollar for every American mentioning Germans/WW2 when I told them I'm Dutch, I would be retired now.

as a northern european I'd ask how many dikes do you own

edit: dikes is not a spelling mistake (i think)

"dyke" is British English and "dike" is American English for a levee or flood bank. I don't own any of those because they belong to the government.

Both spellings are also slang for butch lesbians, and owning those has been illegal for about 160 years now.

My dad owned part of one of the first wind turbines in the country, does that count?
