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!"
A group of Italians (or whatever) and a group of Poles heard that the
telephone company was looking for people so they went and applied.
The telephone company decided to give them a test before hiring anyone
so they sent the teams out to install telphone poles. At the end of
the day they reported back on how they had done. The Italian team had
installed 10 telephone poles and the Polish team one. The Italians
were hired but the Polish team protested that the Italians had cheated
because the Italians left most of the poles sticking out of the
ground.
