Best Joke Ever

There's no way Dutch wasn't written as a joke by two college pranksters in Belgium. "Hey, know what would be funny, now that we invented Welsh? Let's make a language with as many 'A's, 'J's and 'K's next to each other as possible." Example A: a pepper is "shoeppaprikaatjes." I don't think I need an example B to prove my point.

However, being a generous and benevolent person, here is a photo of the wrapping, which clearly shows that most, if not all, farmers in Holland have clown noses and answer to a bumblebee. While this isn't a reflection of the Dutch language, it does clearly define and comprehensively sum up Dutch culture, and gives a great insight into both the people and their agriculture.
