POLISH JOKE

WHAT IS BLACK AND BLUE AND IS ROLLING DOWN THE STREET?
YOU, IF YOU TELL ANOTHER POLISH JOKE.

Submitter comment: I HEARD THIS IN THE WOMEN'S LOUNGE OF THE BRIGGS
BUILDING OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT. A GIRL WAS
SPEAKING ABOUT AN INCIDENT WHICH HAPPENED BEFORE I
ENTERED. HER AND HER GIRL CAME INTO THE LOUNGE WHEN AN
OLDER WOMAN WAS ALREADY THERE. HER GIRL FRIEND TOLD
HER A FEW POLISH JOKES. MEANWHILE, THE LADY BEGAN TO
READ INTENTLY. AFTER THE JOKES WERE FINISHED, THE
OLDER WOMAN, RED BY NOW, CLOSED HER BOOK, LOOKED UP AND
SAID THE ABOVE.
