The Polish were branded as stupid because the French were in the bathroom at "stereotyping label" time.

Okay. Enough of the Polish jokes.
Here's an Irish joke:

Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim
Finnegan arrives at her door. "Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya".
"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?"
"That's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda." There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."
"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me."
"I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry."
Finally, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?"
"It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned."
"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me true, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?"
"Well, Brenda... no. In fact, he got out three times to pee."

Polish jokes were actually created by the third reich.

It's getting harder and harder to tell jokes that make fun of people. But have a heart, rednecks and fat people are still fair game.

Speaking of Polish battleships, did you hear about the Polish submarine with a screen door? Don't laugh, it keeps the fish out.

I have a suggestion,....let's take every ethnic, stereotype joke that we've heard and change it to pick on LIBERALs, and specific members such as Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton, Pelosi, etc.

As for me I won't be picking on the Polish or any of those who are standing with us in Iraq.

I'm pretty certain they were around well before that during the big immigration from Eastern Europe 1890-1910 or so, particularly in the coal regions.

The increasingly confused Jasiu even moves to Ireland in a desperate attempt to take on a more acceptable nationality.

Q. Why do liberals carry crap in their pockets?

A. For identification!

I grew up in a Polish neighborhood, and the only joke I ever recall hearing, I am not even sure is a put-down:

Who was Alexander Graham Zdanowicz?

How many handles on a LIBERAL coffin?
Why do they hang bags of crap on the walls at LIBERAL weddings?
How do you recognize a LIBERAL airplane?
Why don't they let LIBERALS swim in Lake Erie?

It's gonna take some time getting used to.

When we can't accept humor directed at ourselves this will become a very sad society. Humor is the best health food in life. If you do away with it you shorten life.

I can think of two Polish jokes. David Bonior and Dan Rostenkowski......
