Thinking you can handle any crisis, just because you're good at building dikes.
Translates to "Hollandse nuchterheid."

A misplaced arrogance that you can handle any crisis, just because you're good at building dikes.

Self explanitory - before you even think about pressing the 'reply' button and publishing your brilliant intellectual thinking for the ENTIRE WORLD to see just make sure that your spelling, punctuation, meanings and meanderings are something that you stand behind 100% O.K.?

A way more polite way to say: "hey dumbass, read the fuck up." but of course those be some no-no words. So the former, more professional way is used.
Pete kindly, as much as possible, told Joel to use common sense, instead of unkindly saying: "holy fucking christ, read a book, you moron."

This means that anything that you learn a life lesson from (that also costs you money); you will NEVER let it happen to you again.
For example..Loaning someone money a second time when they didn't pay you back the first time. Or getting the same girl pregnant twice when she told you she was on birth control..Now you are paying child support TWICE.
Or catching an STD from trusting someone who has told you "You're the only one I have had sex with." Meanwhile, you are spending money on doctor visits and antibiotics.

Man, I promise you I won't sleep with her again! She lied and said she was on the pill. Ain't no sense like bought sense!
