The nature of Polish jokes? [125]
Merged:
Polish Humour and Polish Jokes.
The first Polish joke I ever heard was told to me by an uncle, when I was about 10 years old.
And had to be explained to me because I was too young to understand.It was a dark humour Communist period joke and went like this;
A Polish dog goes to the Polish border with Czechoslovakia and meets a Czech dog coming the other way....The Polish dog asks the Czech dog why is he coming to Poland.
The Czech dog replies.
"Because in Poland you have meat".
Then the Czech dog asks the Polish dog why he is going to Czechoslovakia.
And the Polish dog replies "Because in Czechoslovakia I can bark!"
Polish humour,as with all nations ,changes over time and Poles no longer laugh at Polish peasants or Jews.As they used to.
They also laugh less at Germans and Americans as they used to,partly because of all the help both those nations have given to Poland.
Interestingly enough I have never heard any Polish jokes about the British.
The main targets these days seem to be politicians,The Police and Priests(But not religion)
And Russians.......all over the world, people like to mock their fears,and Russians,scare Poles.....with good reason!
So Poles like to mock Russians for their stupidity.....
This is an old joke but recently adapted;
Two Russian pilots were coming into land on an airfield....at the last moment,the chief pilot pulled up and soared up into the sky.
He turned to his co pilot and said "Wow! That was close!Did you see how short the runway was?"
The co pilot replied "Yeah! And did you see how wide it was?"
In these times we need humour,I know that some Polish jokes may be a bit difficult to translate to English, but do your best and let's have some fun!
