Polish jokes...

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.

:p
 
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.
 
We had 2 supervisors of Polish descent.
One told the other -
"You're the guy they make all of those dumb jokes about"
He may have been correct :)
 
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.
 
I resemble that remark!

I've heard just about all of the Polish jokes.

My last name is rare in that it's one of the few Polish names that doesn't end in -ski or -vich. It's a noun.

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. :D

It STILL IS harmless fun.

I stopped telling Polish jokes after Lech Waleshka, sp. I figured if someone could do what he did it was time to switch to North Dakotan's permanently.

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."

Years ago I had a ladder fail me and fell onto concrete from at least 12 feet, I knew I was hurt when I tried to get up and my buddies kept me on the floor and called an ambulance. The ER doc came into my exam room and did a cursory check up and said I needed an xray. They sent me off to radiology, I went back to my screened room, the doc came back in and told me I had crush factured my L1 and was going to be in some pain and would need to see a specialist. I noticed his thick accent and read his name tag Dr. Waschoski, I asked him "Doc are you Polish?" He said "Yes, I am" I then told him "My maternal grandmother was Polish, her maiden name was Marosik." He said "That explains everything." I didn't understand what he meant and said "Excuse me?" He said "That fall would have killed a normal human being." True story...
