American. "I couldn't stay in there another minute!"

many seconds are there in a year? And third, how many d's are there in
'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?'"

knew the right answers. So again the coach said, "So how many days in

	"Hmm... OK," said the coach. "How many seconds are there in a
year?"

instructor reminded the Polak that he would be right behind him.  The
Polak proceeded to jump from the plane and after being in the air for
a few seconds pulled the rip cord.  The instructor followed by jumping
from the plane.  The instructor pulled his rip cord but the parachute

	A Polish guy is walking along the beach in France.  There are
many beautiful women lying in the sun, and he really wants to meet
one. But try as he might, the women don't seem to be at all
interested. Finally, as a last resort, he walks up to a French guy
lying on the beach who is surrounded by adoring women.
	"Excuse me," he says, taking the guy aside, "but I've been
trying to meet one of those women for about an hour now, and I just
can't seem to get anywhere with them.  You're French.  You know these
women.  What do they *want*?"

store.  He buys a skimpy red bathing suit, puts it on, and goes back
to the beach.  He parades up and down the beach but still has no luck
with the ladies.
	So he goes back to the Frenchman.  "I'm sorry to bother you
again," he says, "but I went to the store, I got a swimsuit, and I
*still* haven't been able to meet a girl."
	"Okay," says the Frenchman, "I tell you what you do.  You go
to zee store.  You buy potato.  You put potato in sweeming suit and
walk up and down zee beach.  You will meet girl very, very qweekly
zees way."
	"Thanks!" says the guy, and runs off to the store. He buys the
potato, puts it in the swimsuit, and marches up and down the beach.
Up and down, up and down he walks, but the women will hardly even look
at him.  After half an hour he can't take it anymore and goes back to
the Frenchman.
	"Look," he says, "I got the suit, I put the potato in it, and
I walked up and down the beach-- and still nothing!  What more can I
do?"
	"Well," says the Frenchman, "maybe I can help you a leetle

Polish guy hits his shovel on something hard in the ground. Both men
work hurriedly to dig the object out and discover that its a treasure
chest. On opening it they find jewels, coins, gold etc. beyond their
wildest dreams. Both are wild with happiness and dance around
madly. When they have calmed down, the Russian takes the Polish
workman's hand and earnestly says "Sir, we will share this just like
Russian - Polish comrades should" and the Polish guy says,
	 "Oh no, 50 - 50".

	A Russian party-official arrives late at night to his hotel
(in Russia). He is not surprised to find that his reservation has been
mislaid but he is more than a little peeved that his status in the
party isn't enough to get him a good room anyway. However, the clerk
insists, the only bed they have left is the fourth bunk in a 4-bed
dorm - he'll have to make do with that.  The Russian grumbles but
eventually he picks up his suitcase and heads for the dorm. On his
way, he meets a chamber-maid and thinking he might as well try to make
friends with his room-mates, he asks her to bring them four cups of
tea.
	As he enters the dorm, he finds that the other three guests
are Polish, they are having a fairly wild party and they're *very*
drunk. They also ignore him totally from the moment he enters. After
sitting there for several minutes, he realizes he can't stand them
anymore and decides to pull a joke on them.  He stands up, grasps a
floor lamp and speaking into the light-bulb as if it were a microphone
he says: "Comrade Colonel, we would like four cups of tea to our room
immediately!"  The Poles stare at him in disbelief, which turns to
horror as the chamber-maid knocks on the door and delivers the tea a
few minutes later. In about 30 seconds the Poles have all packed their
bags and fled the hotel. Our Russian gets the entire room to
himself. He sleeps very soundly.
	The next morning, however, as he's checking out and is about
to leave, the desk-clerk calls after him:
	"By the way, Sir, the Comrade Colonel said to tell you he
appreciated your little joke last night!"

walking to the nearest town (which they had passed 50 miles back) to
get some help.
	A rancher was sitting on his front porch that evening when he
saw the white guy top the horizon and walk toward him. The rancher
noticed that the white guy was carrying a glass of water, so when he
was within hearing distance, the rancher said, "Hi there...what are
you doing carring a glass of water through the desert?"
	The white guy explained his predicament and explained that
since he had a long way to go, he might get thirsty, so that's why he
was carrying the water.
	A little while later the rancher noticed the black guy walking
toward him with a loaf of bread in his hand. "What are you doing?"
asked the rancher again.
	As before, the black guy explained the situation and said that
since he had a long way to go, he might get hungry and that's why he
had the bread.
	Finally the Polak appeared, dragging a car door through the
sand. More curious than ever, the rancher asked, "Hey, why are you
dragging that car door?"
	"Well," said the Polak, "I have a long way to go, so if it
gets too hot, I'll roll down the window."

	The copilot looked out the windshield. "Wow! you`re right!
That`s incredible! Are you sure we can make it?"
	"Well we better, were almost out of fuel."
	So the captain got on the intercom and notified the passengers
to put their heads between their knees and prepare for an emergency
landing. Then he set the flaps to full down and slowed the plane to
just over stall speed.  The big jumbo jet came screaming in, on the
ragged edge of control. The pilot`s hands were sweating, the copilot
was praying. They touched down and came screeching to a halt JUST
before the edge of the runway, the tires smoking. "WHEW! That was
CLOSE!" yelled the captain."That runway was SHORT!"
	"Yeah!" said the copilot,"and WIDE too!"

jokes about their stupidity so they decided to start a building
project to prove that they weren't as dumb as the rest of the world
made them out to be.
	"Gentlemen," said the Minister of Public Works, "we have
decided that we can prove to the world that we aren't as dumb as the
world says we are by building the world's largest suspension bridge!"
The assembly 'oohed' and 'ahhed' with appreciation.  "But to REALLY
show our intellectual superiority, we are going to build it in the
most conspicuous and difficult place on Earth--the Sahara Desert!"
Suddenly the assemblage erupted in mass confusion.  Everyone was
shouting, and slapping the Minister of Public Works on the back.  They
all agreed that this would settle this stupidity issue once and for
all.  And so they commenced to building.
	Several months passed before the government council reconvened.
The Minister of Public Works sadly took the pulpit.  "As you have no
doubt heard gentlemen, the suspension bridge construction project is
an unmitigated disaster.  The world is laughing even harder at us than
ever before.  We shall have to destroy it."
	The Minister of Foreign Relations asked for the floor.  "I'm
sorry to report this, gentlemen, but we cannot destroy the bridge."
Once again the government council broke out into mass confusion.
Shouts of consternation were heard on every tongue.  Finally, the
hubbub died down enough for the Minister of Foreign Relations to be
heard.  "I know, I know," he cried, "but we just cannot get it torn
down.  Every crew we have sent there winds up fishing off of the
side!"

preparing a space ship to go to Saturn, and Germany was inventing a
car that runs on water. Soon, it was the Polish scientists' turn to
speak. "Well, we are preparing a space ship to fly to the sun." This,

to deal with the sun's extreme heat. "Simple, we're going at night!"

ditches. Finally one of the Germans hit upon an idea. "Hey Krachevski,
is that you?" he yelled at the Polish trench.

	There was once a Polak who was extremely sad with life because
people always made fun of him. He decided to do something about it. He
sat back and thought about it. Suddenly he thought - "I have never
seen anyone making fun of Italians. So, if I start talking and
behaving like them, no one will be able to make out that I am Polish
and make fun of me."  He went into isolation for three months and
after a lot of practice, he walked confidently into a shop and said,
"I am a very hungry. Give me some pepperoni and zucchini."
	Immediately, the man behind the counter said "Are you a
Polak?"  This guy was taken aback and he repeated his request.  The
man behind the counter said, "Are you a Polak or not?"
	This man was finally very ashamed and amazed at the shop
owner's discerning ability and so he admitted to the fact after which
he asked, "But how did you know?"
	The shopkeeper replied, "This is a hardware store!"

detective. One was Polish, one was Jewish, and one was Italian. Rather
than ask the standard questions during the interview, the chief
decided to ask each applicant just one question and base his decision
upon that answer.
	When the Jewish man arrived for his interview, the chief
asked, "Who killed Jesus Christ?"
	 The Jewish man answered without hesitation "The Romans killed
him." The chief thanked him and he left.
	When the Italian man arrived for his interview, the chief
asked the same question. He replied "Jesus was killed by the Jews."
Again, the chief thanked the man who then left.
	When the Polish man arrived for his interview, he was asked
the exact same question. He thought for a long time, before saying,
"Could I have some time to think about it?" The chief said, "OK, but
get back to me tomorrow."
	When the Polish man arrived home, his wife asked "How did the
interview go?"  He replied, "Great, I got the job, and I'm already

shovellin' shit and breakin' our backs, when Rafaelli is up there
sittin' in the truck with the air-conditioner on, smokin' cigarettes
and readin' the newspaper? That's what I'd like to know!"

we'll see what he's got to say."

to the street and goes over to the truck, and motions Rafaelli to come
out. R says, "Whattayou want, Kowalski? And hurry up, it's hot out
here."
	K says, "Well, I just wanna know one thing, Rafaelli. Howcum
me 'n' Lisjewski is down there underground shovellin' shit, and yer up
here in the air-conditionin', smokin' cigarettes all day? How come?"

real easy, Kowalski." He holds his hand out in front of the heavy iron
truck bed and says, "OK, Kowalski, hit my hand real hard."

tomorrow he will throw it off the building.

	A Polak is looking to buy a saw to cut down some trees in his
back yard. He goes to a chainsaw shop and asks about various
chainsaws. The dealer tells him, "Look, I have a lot of models, but
why don't you save yourself a lot of time and aggravation and get the
top-of-the-line model. This chainsaw will cut a hundred cords of wood
for you in one day."
	So the Polak takes the chainsaw home and begins working on the
trees. After cutting for several hours and only cutting two cords, he
decides to quit. He thinks there is something wrong with the
chainsaw. "How can I cut for hours and only cut two cords?", the Polak
asks himself. "I will begin first thing in the morning and cut all
day", the Polak tells himself. So, the next morning the Polak gets up
at 4 in the morning and cuts, and cuts, and cuts till nightfall, and
he only manages to cut five cords.
	The Polak is convinced this is a bad saw. "The dealer told me
it would cut one hundred cords of wood in a day, no problem.  I will
take this saw back to the dealer", the Polak says to himself.  The
very next day the Polak brings the saw back to the dealer and explains
the problem. The dealer, baffled by the Polak's claim, removes the
chainsaw from the case.  The dealer says, "Huh, it looks fine." Then
the dealer starts the chainsaw, to which the Polak responds, "What's
that noise?"

with every third round they bring a free bottle of wine to the table."
	 The Polak said "That sounds fine but if we go to Kowalski's
we drink for free all night and then go out into the parking lot and
get laid."

exclaimed. "Have you actually been there?"

time."

Two Poles, Markowski and Krachevski go to France on a pleasure
trip. They meet this Frenchman called Jean Paul and become good
pals. Jean Paul finds these two Poles some- what amusing and so he
goes all out to make them happy. He treats them at pubs, bars,
discotheques.... This goes on for a while until one fine day Jean Paul
does not turn up. The Poles assume that some important work would have
held him up and do not take a serious note of it. But, perhaps
something was serious as Jean Paul does not turn up for next five days
at a stretch. At this the Poles get alarmed and go to the police
station to lodge a report. The inspector asks them to give details of
the person who's missing. The following conversation follows:

Markowski: Well, his name is Jean Paul.

Inspector: It's a very common name in France. Something more please.

Krachevski: Well, he is very tall.

Inspector: Most of the people in France are tall. Big deal.

Markowski: Well, he's got blue eyes.

Inspector: Oh! no. Something more substantial.

Krachevski: I got it. This is slightly uncommon. I'm sure now you
shall be able to track him. You see, He's got two holes in his ass.

Inspector: (shocked): Well, well, that's curious. Are you sure?

Krachevski: Ya! Ya!

Inspector: Are you definitely sure that this very personal info you
have is CORRECT?

Krachevski: Most certainly.

Inspector (still skeptical): But how're you so sure?

Krachevski: Simple. Whenever we used to go with him to the bar,
everyone used to greet him as "Here comes Jean Paul with two
ass-holes."

his death. The police came to the site and began asking questions.
        "Where does he live?" The Poles shrugged their shoulders. "Is
he married?" The Poles didn't know. "What is his NAME?" The Poles
shrugged again. "You worked with this guy for five years and you don't
know anything about him?" the cop asked.
        "I know something about him," one Polak volunteered. "He has
two assholes."
        "What are you talking about?" said the cop.
        "Well," said the Polak, "Whenever we go for a drink after work
the bartended says, 'Here comes the dago with the two assholes.'"

	Two Polish hunters were out looking for pheasant when they
came upon the local farmer's daughter, sitting naked on a fence,

	The second hunter shot her.

	A 12-year-old boy comes up to the Polak and says, "I was
looking in your bedroom window last night and I saw your wife giving
you a blow job. Nyah, nyah, nyah."

	Happened some time ago when late Leonid Brezhnev was still in
charge in Russia and the good old communist party ruled in
Poland. Brezhnev was coming to an official visit and the Polish
Central Committee was planning the celebrations. Says one: "There are
no major works of art in our collections that would show Lenin
visiting Poland. We could order a painting from one of our
contemporary artists, in real socialistic realism style and all, and
unveil it as a highlight of our formal dinner with Brezhnev."
	Everybody is cheering. What a wonderful idea! Until the young
colonel Jaruzelski, Committee member and expert in political history,
makes a disappointing remark: "Unfortunately, comrades, I must tell
you that during his most celebrated and honourable life, Lenin never
visited Poland."
	 Fierce discussion follows. Art must tell the truth, that's
agreed upon, so the artist must not lie to the people by painting a
fictitious situation. Finally, a young and promising painter is
brought in front of the committee, and he surprises everybody by
promising that he can make a painting from the subject "Lenin in
Poland" with nothing fictitious in it.
	The great day arrives and Brezhnev's visit is a success. In
the evening, the big formal dinner is held at the Cultural Palace of
Warsaw. The huge, veiled painting hangs on the wall opposite Brezhnev
and Chairman Gierek. Bottles of champagne are prepared, trumpets play
a short and jubilous signal, and the silk-thin veil is dropped to the
floor with a roar of applause...which suddenly dies into a nasty
silence. Some hasty whispers, and the poor artist is most promptly
brought in front of chairman Gierek, who asks "My comrade, you were
given the subject 'Lenin in Poland.' Could you explain, who is that
young lady in your painting who lies naked on the pillows?"
	"Comrade chairman, she is Anna Fjeodorovna, Lenin's wife."
	"Oh yes... but who is that greedy-looking bearded fellow who
is kissing her navel?"
	"He is Prince Jusupof, the famous Russian Don-Juan from the
beginning of the century."
	"But.. BUT WHERE IS LENIN?"
	"Comrade Chairman, Lenin is in Poland."

	A Polak was moving some furniture from Krakow to Warsaw on a
horse-drawn carriage. The road was long, and the man was alone. A few
days in the trip he begins to think of women, and so he became
horny. With nothing to satisfy his manly needs, he decided to do it
with the horse.
	Knowing that the horse's rear end is quite high, the Polak
looks for a stool among the furniture. He finds one, brings it down,
places it behind the horse, stands on it and is ready to perform the
act when the horse moves one step forward. The Polak, frustrated, gets
down from the stool, picks it up, places it again behind the horse,
gets up on it and tries to do it when the horse moves one more step
forward.  Being very determined, the Polak repeats the process, and
again the horse moves one step forward.
	Step by step, the ordeal lasts for a couple of miles when
suddenly the Polak spots a woman being attacked by a band of
robbers. Being strong and armed himself, he saves the woman's
life. The woman then tells him that she would be willing to do
ANYTHING for him because he saved her life. He asks her to hold the
horse.

	An Englishman, a Texan and a Polak are lost in the Nevada
desert. After days without water or food they come upon a lamp half
buried in the sand.  They rub the lamp and out comes a genie. Since
they all rubbed the lamp the genie grants each one a single wish. The
Texan goes first and wishes to be transported back to his house where
his pool was filled with beautiful women. The claps his hands and the
Texan vanishes in a flash of light. The Englisman wishes to be
transported back to his house where he knows his wife will be eagerly
awaiting him. Once again the Genie claps his hands and the Englishman
vanishes. The Polak sits down and thinks about what he should wish
for. Suddenly realizing he is all alone in the desert, he promptly
wishes that the Texan and the Englishman were back.

we're going to be about 1 hour late getting into Warsaw."
        An hour later, the pilot gets on the intercom again, "Folks,
don't get alarmed, but a second engine just went out, but please don't
worry.  This plane is designed to fly safely on one engine, but now
we'll be about 2 hours late getting into Warsaw."
        After that announcement, one Polak looks at the other and

here all night."

	You may recall that Polish jokes and Italian jokes used to run
about equal numbers, but lately polish jokes predominate. This is
because both sides grew tired of being denigrated and decided to have
a game of football to see who should get all the jokes - loser to take
on the jokes.
	The game was held, and was hard-fought. But it was a scoreless
tie, so they went into sudden-death overtime. After about 5 minutes, a

end of the game and left the field. Three plays later, the Italians
scored and won, thus making the Poles take the jokes.

	There was a white guy, a black guy, and a Polak driving down
the road and their car broke down.  They walked to the nearest house
and knocked on the door.  They asked the farmer if they could stay in
his barn for the night because their car broke down and it was getting
late.  The farmer agreed and led them to the barn.
	The barn had two hay lofts in it.  The black guy slept in the
top loft, the white guy slept in the middle loft, and the Polak slept
on the floor.  The black guy woke up in the middle of the night
because he had to take a dump.  He didn't want to crawl down because
he was afraid he would wake up his friends.  So instead he crapped in
his pillow case and threw it down to the floor.
	The next morning, the farmer came in and asked them if they
had slept well.
	The black guy said, "Yeah, I slept pretty good."
	The white guy said, "I slept pretty good too."

Letter from a Polish mother to her son, Ignace:

WARSZAWA, POLAND
FEBRUARY 30, 1994

MY DEAREST SON IGNACE,

JUST A FEW LINES TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM STILL ALIVE. EXCUSE ME FOR
TYPING THIS LETTER BUT YOU KNOW THAT I CANNOT READ OR WRITE. ALSO I AM
TYPING SLOW BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN NOT READ FAST. I AM USING A VERY
OLD TYPEWRITER THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY LOWER CASE LETTERS, you know,
the ones that look like these.

THEY SAY THAT NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS SO HERE IS NO NEWS. YOU WON'T KNOW
THE HOUSE WHEN YOU COME HOME BECAUSE WE HAVE MOVED. I CAN NOT SEND YOU
THE NEW ADDRESS BECAUSE THE LAST POLISH FAMILY WHO LIVED HERE TOOK THE
NUMBERS WITH THEM SO THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR ADDRESS.

YOUR FATHER HAS A LOVELY NEW JOB. HE HAS FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE UNDER
HIM. HE IS CUTTING THE GRASS AT THE CEMETERY. THE NEW HOUSE HAS A
WASHING MACHINE BUT IT IS NOT WORKING TOO GOOD, LAST WEEK, I PUT IN 14
SHIRTS, PULLED THE CHAIN AND I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM SINCE. THIS MORNING
YOUR SISTER HAD A BABY BUT THEY DID NOT SAY IF IT IS A BOY OR GIRL SO
I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU ARE AN UNCLE OR AN AUNT. I LEFT AN EMPTY CARTON
OF MILK IN THE ICEBOX BECAUSE I KNOW YOU LIKE YOUR COFFEE BLACK WHEN
YOU COME HOME.

YOUR AUNT CHRISTINE GAVE UP BIRTH CONTROL PILLS WHEN YOUR UNCLE JOHN
BOUGHT A CONDOMINIUM. YOUR FATHER DID NOT HAVE MUCH TO DRINK ON
CHRISTMAS. I PUT A BOTTLE OF CASTOR OIL IN HIS BEER WHICH KEPT HIM
GOING UNTIL NEW YEAR'S DAY. I WENT TO THE DOCTOR ON THURSDAY AND YOUR
FATHER WENT WITH ME. THE DOCTOR PUT A SMALL GLASS TUBE IN MY MOUTH AND
SAID NOT TO OPEN MY MOUTH FOR 12 MINUTES. YOUR FATHER OFFERED TO BUY
THE GLASS TUBE FROM HIM.

NOW FOR THE BAD NO NEWS. YOUR UNCLE DICK DROWNED LAST WEEK IN A VAT OF
WHISKEY AT THE WHISKEY FACTORY. SOME OF HIS FELLOW WORKERS DIVED IN TO
SAVE HIM BUT HE FOUGHT THEM OFF BRAVELY. WE HAD THE BODY CREMATED AND
IT TOOK THREE DAYS TO PUT OUT THE FIRE.

IT RAINED ONLY TWICE LAST WEEK, ONCE FOR THREE DAYS AND ONCE FOR FOUR
DAYS. MONDAY THE WIND WAS SO BAD THAT ONE CHICKEN LAID THE SAME EGG
FOUR TIMES. ALSO WE DON'T HAVE ANY ICE HERE ANYMORE BECAUSE THE LADY
WITH THE RECIPE MOVED. WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE UNDERTAKER. HE
SAID IF THE LAST INSTALLMENT WAS NOT PAID ON YOUR GRANDMOTHER UP SHE
COMES. REMEMBER YOUR FRIEND TOM? WELL, HE IS NO LONGER IN THIS
WORLD. HIS FATHER DIED AND WANTED TO BE BURIED AT SEA AND POOR TOM
DROWNED DIGGING THE GRAVE.

YOUR LOVING MOTHER,

P.S. I WAS GOING TO SEND YOU SOME MONEY BUT I ALREADY SEALED THE
ENVELOPE.
