No, I'm a Hottentot! Sorry, couldn't resist. You just reminded me where my nick comes from. We were once in France with bunch of friends (all Finns), staying in a certain place where many people from different countries were staying at and usually also accommodated in same rooms. Then this French guy suddenly barged into our room when I was all alone and asked if anyone there was French. I replied apologizing that I'm unfortunately a Hottentot and all my friends are Bushmen. Poor guy left with a very confused look on his face and later I learned that he only wanted to know what time it was.
Come to think of it, I haven't ever been called "French", "Sir" or "Wise". Even less all in the same post. I'm taking it as a compliment and hope that tomorrow I won't wake up as a Reptilian drone.
