POLISH JOKE

Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.

TWO POLLACKS WENT TO TAKE A VOCATIONAL TEST. AFTER THE TEST, THE
FIRST ONE REMARKED THAT IT WAS A HARD TEST AND HE DIDN'T ANSWER MANY
OF THE QUESTIONS. THE SECOND ONE SAID THAT HE HAD THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
HARD BEFORE HE TOOK IT AND SO HE PICKED THE SMARTEST LOOKING PERSON
AT THE TEST TO SIT NEXT TO AND COPIED ALL HIS ANSWERS.

Submitter comment:

THE JOKE, OF COURSE, HERE IS THAT VOCATIONAL TESTS HAVE NO RIGHT OR
WRONG ANSWER BUT ARE DESIGNED TO TELL WHAT TYPE OF JOB YOU WOULD BE
BEST SUITED FOR.

DROODLE

Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.

TWO POLACKS WALKING ABREAST

Submitter comment:

AS WITH ALL DROODLES, THE PICTURE IS SHOWN TO A PERSON, AND HE
IS ASKED "WHAT IS THIS?" AFTER HE GIVES UP, HE IS TOLD.
THIS WAS CIRCULATING AT MY HIGH-SCHOOL, CENTRAL CATHOLIC IN
CANTON, OHIO, IN 1970-71. RECENTLY MY YOUNGER BROTHER, NOW A STUDENT
AT THE SAME SCHOOL, CAME HOME WITH THE SAME DROODLE. ONE WAY THINGS
SUCH AS THIS ARE SPREAD, I BELIEVE, IS THAT STUDENTS PUT THEM ON
THEIR TEXTBOOKS, AND WHEN THEY SELL THE TEXTBOOK THE FOLLOWING YEAR,
SOMEONE NEW PICKS IT UP AND PASSES IT ON.
