What's the stupidest question asked about Poland?

Taking into the consideration of knowing where countries are in the world as a MUST at school, and Japan as an known and "respected" country. I wouldn't be surpsied if they said it lies on a Island beteen China and USA wich isn't correct since it's on 4 islands. But heck they know somehow where it is.

Ha ha. yees. I have had such experience:-) JP is far from Poland. Sometime, we cannot recognize the geographic location of countries correctly.


It depends on whether we are interested in it :-). To tell the truth, I couldn't distinguish "Slovakia" and "Slovenia" before coming to Poland:-( I am ashamed that I was.

Neither could Bush distinguish those 2 countries, Raijin.

Bush is sure to have asked a stupid question about Poland. I have to rummage around in the archives for one.

He asked the Brazilian President, "do you have blacks too?". I'm glad I didn't hear that as I'd've needed my sides repaired.

do they?

Hehehe, you are a funny man, McCoy. They have the largest population of black origin outside of Africa.

i thought brasil was in africa

Aha, I'm listening.....;)

ive got nothing to say anymore. too many informations for one evening

Too much information? Sorry if my revelatory fact hit you so hard, amigo ;) ;)

Worst one I've been asked:

"So in Poland, who are the maids and house cleaners?"

Obvious bigotry.

Also, "Was Chopin the guy in Poland who invented vodka, since I saw that vodka with his name?"

EPIC FAIL

How about poliomyelitis?

Stupidest thing I here often is........."Where is Poland?" From severely geographically challenged individuals.

Its a good question...where is it...? I have been living here for five years , cant see to find out where i am ....?

Do polish people eat only potatos and cabbage?

and pork, next question please.

All polish girls are tall blondes?

Do all Poles wear tracksuits and live in tower blocks?

Is there toilet paper there?

Oh, and do they have toilets?

Do they have electricity?

They may as well ask: 'do they have oxygen?'

Is Poland's national language Russian?

well i never believed that ppl really ask such questions. Do they? Are they regular ppl???


Actually... That one is good question ;)

Do all Polish men have skinheads?

well... that's also good question. Balding is common problem in Poland ;P

That's mostly true though, haha :)


Polish homophobia and Neanderthal machismo always makes me laugh. Not because I agree with homophobia (I don't), but because you know what they say... those who are the most anti-gay are often the ones hiding a "secret" preference ;)

30 years ago, it was easy to spot gays over here by their Polish-style Wałęsa moustaches and tight jeans. Nowadays, Polish blokes sport shaved heads, short bomber jackets and tight t-shirts/vests. Walking into a Polish club these days is like walking down Canal Street on a weekend. Do they really not get it? :)

The most stupid question I heard a few weeks ago was: "Why are Poles patriotic?"

??? Whta do you mean??? Im polish women and I think we have rather gentelmen here than machos. The "żule" are just "margines społeczny". Dont spread stereotypes.


Could you put it in other words... I really have no idea what does it mean.

A young shop assistant in Birmingham (England) once asked me, "Poland? That's near Greenland, innit?"

He was poking fun on you. Pole (like North Pole) + land = Poland ;)

I don,t know where they live...but i know they spend all their time stood in bus shelters....when the buses are not running....???
