There was once a Polish man who was extremely sad
with life because people always made fun of him. He decided to do
something about it. He sat down to contemplate the situation, and
after a few hours, he thought, "I have never seen anyone making fun of
Italians. So, if I start talking and behaving like them, no one will
be able to make out that I am Polish and make fun of me."
He went into isolation for three months and after a
lot of practice, he walked confidently into a shop and said, "I am a
very hungry. Give me some pepperoni and zucchini." Immediately, the
man behind the counter said "Are you Polish?" This guy was taken aback
and he repeated his request.
The man behind the counter said, "Are you Polish or
not?" This man was finally very ashamed and amazed at the shop owner's
discerning ability and so he admitted to the fact after which he
asked, "But how did you know?" The shopkeeper replied, "This is a
hardware store!"
