A Polish man was walking along the beach in France.
There are many beautiful women lying in the sun, and he really wants
to meet one. But try as he might, the women don't seem to be at all
interested. Finally, as a last resort, he walks up to a Frenchman
lying on the beach who is surrounded by adoring women.
"Excuse me," he says, taking the guy aside, "but
I've been trying to meet one of those women for about an hour now, and
I just can't seem to get anywhere with them. You're French. You know
these women. What do they want?"
"Maybee I can help a leetle beet," says the
Frenchman. "What you do ees you go to zee store. You buy a leetle
bikini sweeming suit. You walk up and down zee beach. You meet girl
very qweekly zees way."
"Wow! Thanks!" says the Pole, and off he goes to
the store. He buys a skimpy red bathing suit, puts it on, and goes
back to the beach. He parades up and down the beach but still has no
luck with the ladies. So he goes back to the Frenchman.
"I'm sorry to bother you again," he says, "but I
went to the store, I got a swimsuit, and I still haven't been able to
meet a girl."
"Okay," says the Frenchman, "I tell you what you
do. You go to zee store. You buy potato. You put potato in sweeming
suit and walk up and down zee beach. You will meet girl very, very
qweekly zees way."
"Thanks!" says the guy, and runs off to the store.
He buys the potato, puts it in the swimsuit, and marches up and down
the beach. Up and down, up and down he walks, but the women will
hardly even look at him.
After half an hour he can't take it anymore and
goes back to the Frenchman. "Look," he says, "I got the suit, I put
the potato in it, and I walked up and down the beach, and still
nothing! What more can I do?" "Well," says the Frenchman, "maybe I can
help you a leetle beet. Why don't you try moving zee potato to the
front of zee sweeming suit?"
