What's the stupidest question asked about Poland?

lol people ask me what language do we speak in Poland all the time. and is it like russian.
regular stuff.
and sometimes I get the did Polish people really charge tanks with horses and swords ?

I was asked why Poles have pink flamingos (the plastic, ulgy looking things) on their front yards.

The first time in my life that I saw such an ugly, pink flamingo was in Buffalo NY. The front yard belonged to an American of Norwegian descent.

I still wonder why especially german war propaganda is still charged for all polish woes.
I mean Germany was the axis, the main enemy...where is the logic that the allies should listen and believe in german war propaganda, repeat the stories and the jokes decades after the wars end???

Is that some kind of "polish logic"??? :)
The allies believed nothing else from this propaganda but "loved" the anti-polish things??? :)

I was asked if there are polar bears in Poland!
That was in USA and the people who asked (it happened twice!) were Americans...hmmmmmmm

My wife was waiting in the queue for a club in Ocean City MD and was speaking Polish on the phone. I ws with her and one American guy asked me what language she was speaking. I told him Alaskan and he was totally convinced

Yep. The Americano tends to think all Polish last names are Jewish ones and they can't pronounce any of 'em, either. Lol.

Oh yeah, i have something else - do you have chocolate in Poland, that was in France :)

I agree, I didn't see many microwaves in Poland.

what's the precentage population of granny's in poland??

the stupidiest i could ever imagine...

If the national language was English....

Oh my God how stupid is English national language in Poland now thats the worst one I heard.

Not any more - I was asked to leave;)

My dad asked me if we have Mc Donalds in Poland......... Doh!

Well in Norway there are no KFC or that coffee thing... Starbuckler? Swashbucket? What was it again!

Ah now I remember it Starbucks!

Starbucks... to be honest you rarely see Starbucks in the UK!!......

..Only joking of course., the home of overpriced coffee!

Is there indoor plumbing?...Should we bring toilet paper when we visit or is it sold there?

My wife once asked me if poland was in Asia.

Oh...so its not then....? where is it.... i am lost...!

After me meeting my fiancee my family ask me! so where is poland? I told them 2 hours away :-)

When organising aid convoys to Poland the most common question i got from people wanting to join us was....where exactly is Poland...? I think for a lot of English people the civilised world ended at the Berlin wall...what was beyond it was all Russian badlands full of evil commies...

The most stupid question?

"Ah Poland! Yeah, isn't that the country where they shot "Hostel?"

"Poland? the capital of Russia?"

Take the question marks away and you have a prophesy.

Oh no!

Oh yes, we conquered them.

Piorun

Russians conquered Poland....

Well, who cares..Poland is free..for now.

Go attack asian countries no one cares about.

My boyfriend said that some people when he told them he was from Poland, people would ask him what state is Poland now how stupid is that.

Some japaneses asked me

-Where is Poland?

-Is warsaw one of city in Russia?

-Does poland still exist?

They did not know poland is one of Eu, so I taught truth:-)

The Japanese are very insular so that doesn't come as a surprise.

What next, 'does Poland have a Parliament?', LOL

Mr. Seanus,

Cocerning 'does poland still...' the japanese thought still poland is communistic country:-) so, she asked 'does poland...?' i did not describe detail of the question on a previous commemt. Sorry:-P

Of course, it is minority to have such stupid question even in jp, but sometime i see such japanese:-(

>japanese are very insular

I agree.

I'd say if you were to ask random polish people about Japan you wouldn't get many sensible answers either... (although there are probably more people interested in Japan in here taking many manga and anime fans into consideration)
