An Englishman, a Frenchman and a Polak were captured by

the Germans and thrown into prison. However, the guard was rather

kind towards them, and said, "I am going to lock you away for

five years, but I'll let you have anything you want now before

I lock you away."

The Englishman says, "I'll have five years' supply of

beer!"

His wish is granted, and they lock him away with his beer.

The Frenchman says, "I'll have five years' supply of

brandy!"

His wish is granted, and they lock him away with his brandy.

The Polak says, "I'll have five years' supply of

cigarettes!"

His wish is granted, and they lock him away with his cigarettes.

Five years later, the Germans come to release their

prisoners. First, they release the Englishman, who staggers out

totally drunk. Then, they release the Frenchman, who also rolls

out

rather inebriated. Then, they release the Polak, who comes out

and says, "Has anyone got a light?"

A Polak is hired to paint the lines on the road. On the

first day he paints ten miles, and his employers are amazed. But,

the second day he painted just five, and on only the third day,

he painted only a mile of the road. Disappointed his boss asks

what the problem was. The Polak replies, "Well sir, every day I

have to walk farther and farther to get back to the paint

bucket."
