No Dutch? I’d be quite happy with her if she didn’t speak at all.

Aww, I dunno - I do like a nice voice, but prolly like most other guys it might take a while to notice whether she was speaking or not...

Many Euros speak six languages. Probably the French do too, but not during the day.

Uh, so what?

With looks like that, she could speak Martian for all I care.

Besides, Flemish isn’t Dutch anyway/

There are those of us that actually favor fair skinned women (not to mention red hair, but not an issue in this case). Isn’t it grand that the ladies come in so many varieties of beautiful?

KRAMER: If you were Miss America, what would you do to make the world a better place?

KAREN: As Miss America, I would try and bring an end to world hunger. If every person sacrificed one meal a week, there would be enough to feed the whole world!

JERRY: That’s a hell of a plan. (To Kramer) Listen -

KRAMER (to Karen): What advice would you give young people?

JERRY: Alright, Kramer!

KRAMER: This is important stuff! She’s got to be able to answer these questions. She’s not going to have time to think, out there, with millions of people watching her. Any hesitation could cost her the crown. You know, poise counts.

KAREN: You really know a lot about this, don’t you?

KRAMER: Oh yeah, like last year? Miss Texas? Now, she should have won easily, but she lost points in the swimsuit competition.

KAREN: Well, what could she have done?

KRAMER: Tape her breasts together. [Jerry is shocked.]

KAREN: What else?

KRAMER: Well, take you for example. Now, you’re very attractive, but you got a big waist.

JERRY: Hey, come on!

KAREN: No, no...it’s O.K. (To Kramer) Go on.

KRAMER: Well, I’d recommend a waist cincher.

KAREN: Really.

KRAMER: Oh, yeah. Just - thip! - suck you in.

JERRY: I’ll be right back. [Leaves the table.]

KRAMER: So, what’s your talent?

KAREN: Magic.

KRAMER: Mmm. I’m thinking of a number from one to ten.

KAREN: Six.

KRAMER: No, five. But you were close.

To be fair, few Walloons are bilingual.

Is this the beginning of a puzzler?

Few Walloons are bilingual.

Some bilinguals are Flemish.

All Flemish are Dutch.

What color is the Bilingual Walloon's car?

Besides, I don't care if she's Walloon or Flemish, I'd call her a Dutch treat.

By treaty and law, official Flemish is identical to official Dutch. Maybe pronunciation and colloquialisms are different.
