Book I read, years back. This one character was a Polish guy. Did something dumb, and his daughter says something about, "Maybe all those Polish jokes are right". He said he'd never heard of a Polish joke, and would she tell him some. She does, and he's laughing fit to bust. Said that, back home in Warsaw, they called them Ukrainian jokes.

In my first military assignment, I worked in an office which had a MSG of Polish ancestry, and a civilian employee, a retired AF warrant officer, of Italian decent. The first 15 minutes every day were spent by these two exchanging Polish and Italian jokes. I don't know where they got them all, but every day started with a bit of levity.

And in Germany, they're French jokes. Every nationality has it's "go to" joke category.

And Bavarian jokes.
Way too much air-ink-electrons being wasted issuing apologies for things that don't require them.

I had a frat brother from the Chicago area who was half German/half Polish and he loved telling Polish jokes. In Minnesota they can tell Norwegian jokes about Sven, Ole and Lena all day long.
Most of these jokes work well for other nationalities too. This used to be harmless fun before PC over ran the world.

In Ukraine they call them Moldovan jokes and in Moldova they are Gypsy jokes
When I was a young boy, my Grandpa had a friend (of Polish descent) like that. They were in the same business, competitors actually, but friendly. Ted would come down to visit and buy parts he needed, and Grandpa would do the same when we visited him. "Polish jokes" were always flying.
It STILL IS harmless fun.
Sven, Ole and Lena were Swedish, don't ya know? Not Norski!

I'm confused. 
I thought all Irish jokes were about drinking or potatoes?

Mine isn't a noun, but it's rare enough that I know and am related to everyone in the US and Canada with the same last name.

Many years ago I was on a fire department with a young man whose name ended in "ski". Wonderful kid--big, strong, even-tempered, and absolutely dependable in an emergency. Very bright but didn't flaunt it.
One evening a bunch of guys started telling Polish jokes to needle him, and he just listened, smiling. After a while he said, "Okay, guys, I have one for you. What's all bloody and goes 'thump-thump-thump' against the wall?"
One of the jokesters said, "I give up, Nick, what IS all bloody and goes 'thump-thump-thump' against the wall?"
Smiling gently, Nick said, "The next man here who tells a Polish joke."
