So there was a riot
in St. Louis and some guy of African descent kept talking about the Pole
Lease. I know what John and Stan, the
two Polish Pittsburgh engineers I used to work with at Amoco would say. “Didn’t know they could lease us. At least Lincoln freed the slaves.” Those two used to love acting Polish-dumb to
the consternation of way-serious management or perhaps to give a little comic
relief from all the equations and calculations.
‘Jano and Stusch’ they called each other, were actually a couple of top notch tertiary recovery petroleum engineers. Stan leaned over to me after someone told an
Aggie joke one day. “Lived here two years
before I knew it was a school! I thought it was some new minority
group.”
You never hear ethnic jokes
anymore. Some guy told me there was
still a lot of racism in the country and I said, “Oh, yeah? Tell me a Negro
joke then. I have been working with
staunch Republicans for 5 years and they are supposedly the big racists. So why do I hear no black jokes?” He didn’t have any joke he wanted to tell
either. Here’s a few of the jabs Jano
and Stusch used to tell just for old time’s sake.
They found bodies of
those two Poles that have been missing for some time . They were at the drive-in, found frozen to
death. They came to watch “closed for
winter.”
The Russians used to
enlist Poles in their air cavalry. Poor
survival rate however. The parachutes
were made in Warsaw and it said on the side of the pack, “Opens upon impact.”
There were these two
Polish twins. One was 18 and the other
was 22.
Are you using that
cheap Polish dictionary? It isn’t
alphabetized.
What do you get when
you cross a Jew with a Pole? A janitor
who owns the building.
A cop stopped a
Polish woman and told her that she didn’t have the red light on the back of her
car. “It’s not that kind of car!” she
protested.
There was a Pole who
got upset after he gave blood at the blood bank and they didn’t give him a
toaster.
Only one Polish
driver has ever competed at the Indianapolis 500. He unfortunately made too many pit stops
asking for directions.
A group of Poles got mad at a politician and decided to march on Washington. Some actually made it to Seattle.

Santa Claus is
definitely Polish. Who else would wear a
red suit?
So what kind of jokes
do they tell in Poland? They tell Obama
jokes. (Sorry I threw that last one in just for fun.)
In Poland they tell Pitt jokes.
