The well-known (and very funny) British comedian Eddie Izzard has a bit where he
talks about all the different languages in Europe and how the British (unlike
the continent) are generally against being multi-lingual and therefore it is
hurting their economy and general standing within the EU. The lines, if I
remember them correctly, are:

The Britisher says: "Two languages at once?? No one can live at that speed!!"
To which the reply is: "But the Dutch speak five languages and smoke
marijuana...."
