The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.

This Polish guy went to visit his friend up north. He got out
and he was roaming around. Pretty soon he asked his friend where
the toilet was. The farm owner said, "It's in the house in the
back, a little ways from here. That's the toilet." So the Polish
guy went there and he was in there for about an hour. So the guy
worried about him, so the owner of the farm went to the outhouse
and wanted to know what he was doing. He opened the door and the
Polish guy was kneeling on the floor in front of the hole and he
was reaching down in there. The owner of the farm said, "What
are you doing?" The Polish guy said, "I got to get my coat. I
went to hang it up and it fell down the hole." He reached down
and got his coat and he took it out and he was looking at it all
over. And the owner of the farm said, "You're going to have to
clean that up." The Polish guy said, "I'm not worried about the
coat, it's the sandwich I had in the pocket."

James Callow comment:

This would probably also qualify as a sick joke.
