Overheard at work: someone commented something like "it only needs one looney dork US president to declare a war on.. blah bla" and someone else replied that "looney dork" and "US president" were really the same thing. To which the first one replied "sure, but this one is the looneyest dork <i>we</i> ever had". He had the whole office in shock with that "we".

PS we do still speak Dutch here, even though some of us need to be reminded sometimes that this really is not America!
