No... Actually, in the typical Dutch student house where I was staying during my period in the Netherlands, there is always some rivalry between floors. A poster was always hanging above the staircase, "If you can't beat them, join them!" And I have the curious habit to turn phrases around in my head to see how they sound... That is, truly, all that happened.

My latest one is "After darkness comes fuel" (which is an actual commerical slogan here by BP) - I like "After fuel comes darkness" a lot better...

I had completely forgotten about Ellemann-Jensen. Serendipity strikes!

Reminds me of (at a slight tangent) "No pain, no gain!" which a friend turned into "No pain, no pain."
