I trust the Poles, look how they stood up to the former USSR.
(Famous Iron Curtain Joke. I am sure many old timers from the Soviet Bloc remember this one)
So, it is 1982 and a Polish Engineer, Bulgarian Engineer and a Hungarian Engineer are all visiting Moscow for a Technical Conference. They are all put up in the massive Hotel Rossiya.
After a hard evening of drinking they are all back in their shared hotel room. The Bulgarian and Hungarian start making nasty jokes about Lenin, Communism and Russians. The Polish engineer is alarmed and tells them “Guys! Stop talking like this. All these rooms are bugged and there are KGB guys hearing everything you say! We will be arrested”
The Bulgarian says “Give me a break! You are so paranoid, you Polish Engineer. As if the KGB has time to waste listening to low level engineers like us”
So the Polish guy decides to teach them a lesson. As the Bulgarian and the Hungarian are in the bathroom brushing their teeth, he knocks the door really loudly and announces “Freeze! This is the KGB! I am a Colonel. You are all under arrest!”. The Bulgarian and the Hungarian fall on the ground crying and pleading for mercy.
The Polish engineer has a good laugh!
Next morning when he wakes up he notices the Bulgarian and the Hungarian are gone! He calls the front desk and asks what happened to the Bulgarian and the Hungarian. The front desk person says that the KGB came in the middle of the night and arrested them for treason!!
The Polish engineer is alarmed and scared but also curious. “How come they did not arrest me?”...
The front desk replies.. “Zee Colonel... He liked your joke”
