It's hard to believe that it's been one year since my fateful trip to Poland . . . (In truth, Shabbos is the anniversary, but since I can't post on Shabbos . . .)
To think, a blog built on Polish jokes and photos has grown to be . . . a blog that, uh . . . well . . . Celebrates the anniversary of telling Polish jokes . . .
In honor of this gala event, I've found a delightlul article by Dorota (The most common ladies name in Poland, at least four of our cleaning ladies were Dorota) Brzozowska (Pronounced Bshozovska -don't ask) concerning Polish Jokes about Americans.
It has such classics as:
The head shepherd came to America and robbed a bank. He hides in a roadside ditch, takesBut I don't want to spoil the fun . . .
of the sack and starts counting. Suddenly he sees a uniformed official who shows him a badge
"POLICE".
And the head shepherd says: - No, thanks for your help, mister. I can count it myself.
untranslatable wordplay: "POLICE" in the Polish mountain dialect means "I will count".]
Better yet, I've gone ahead and collected my ALL TIME BEST Polish Joke Posts!
Yes, the very best of the Blog that put such terms as "Dzein Dobry", "Kurczaki", and "Why am I in Poland again?" in the J-Blogosphere's lexicon!
That's right, for the limited time that I'm able to keep your attention, and your finger away from the Go Back button on your browser, you'll get pięć classic Polish jokes . . . yes that's p-i-ę-ć 'Pinch', five, Classic Jokes.
So act now!
Take a trip down memory lane with
- Welcome to Ulica Slominskiego 19
or
POLISH HAIR (and I don't mean a Polski version of the famous play about hippies)
Welcome to Warszawa . . . Oh, you thought that you were in Warsaw . . . Nope . . . here we like adding lots of letters to make things hard to pronounce (as opposed to Quebec, where they put in lots of letters that they DON'T pronounce like Mo-re-al (spelled Montreal for some strange raison (that's French for reason))
Here an Ł is a W, a W is a V, and V altogether doesn’t exist . . .
And people wonder why they make Pollack jokes . . . HA!

- How to tell a Joke in Polish
In America we make Polak jokes. I think that in Poland, they must make Cleaning Lady jokes.
"Would you like to hear a joke? There once was a Polak . . . ."
"Nah," says the blind man, "I don't feel like explaining it three times."
