ETHNIC JOKE

QUESTION: HOW COME A CERTAIN CITY HAS NO MORE ICE CUBES?
ANSWER: THE LADY WHO HAD THE RECIPE DIED.

Submitter comment: THIS IS A JOKE ABOUT HAMTRAMCK. I HESITATED IN USING THE NAME
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE OF POLISH DESCENT. I'VE
ALWAYS LIKED THIS JOKE BECAUSE IT'S SO STUPID IT'S FUNNY.
