News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]
Not exactly about Poland here, but I remember a time when I was a sophomore in high school and we were discussing World War II, and the subject of the importance of Italy during the war was brought up. After a bit of discussion about the mass-rape of Italian citizens by British soldiers (I figured we were being a bit biased continually talking about Red Army atrocities and whatnot), some kid said:
"Hey, wait a minute, I thought Italy was a city in France?"
He was dead serious - it was rather sad, really.
My wife was asked the other day where she was from. She said 'Poland' very clearly.
