Polish? My BIL (great guy) was Polish ancestry. Died 5 years ago. Vietnam vet. Had taps and everything at the cemetery.

Anyway, of course we teased him :)

My cousin married a great Irish gal. One kid looks all italian, the other all Irish.

So when I see him, I say how’s the Irish kid? :)

Very nice lol.

You might want to keep that one to yourself on Staten Island :)

And I dont even have a good Polish joke in my head so you win for the night!

Knew a Sicilian coworker with sandy hair & blue eyes who talked like out of The Godfather.

I asked if anyone ever had called him a “guinea” and all I got was a blank look. We looked in the unabridged dictionary for any connection between guinea and Italian. No luck.

Not even the old joke about Italian helicopters where the main rotor goes wop-wop-wop & the tail rotor goes guinea-guinea-guinea, had any effect.

Our Italian neighbors told me that there’s a saying in Rome, “Everything south of Naples is Africa.”

But in Milan they say, “Everything south of Rpme...”

[Mrs. Don-o]

Bingo!

Government is good at identying non-existent “rights,” too, and not nearly as good at securing genuine rights.
