An Englishman, a Frenchman and a Pole were captured
by the Germans and thrown into prison. However, the guard was rather
kind towards them, and said, "I am going to lock you away for five
years, but I'll let you have anything you want now before I lock you
up."
The Englishman says, "I'll have five years' supply
of beer!" His wish is granted, and they lock him away with his beer.
The Frenchman says, "I'll have five years' supply
of brandy!" His wish is granted, and they lock him away with his
brandy.
The Pole says, "I'll have five years' supply of
cigarettes!" His wish is granted, and they lock him away with his
cigarettes.
Five years later, the Germans come to release their
prisoners. First, they release the Englishman, who staggers out
totally drunk. Then, they release the Frenchman, who also rolls out
rather inebriated. Then, they release the Pole, who comes out and
says, "Has anyone got a light?"
