Now, the average Dutchman is six centimeters taller than the average American.
This of course is not the case with this Dutchman, who’s fairly short for Dutch standards. Fortunately francophone Quebeckers are on average much smaller than their English speaking counterparts in the West and South, so I still am pretty tall here. Very useful in the Metro (when they’re not on strike).
