FD-Ski goes into a store and asks the clerk,
"I'd like some Polish Sausage, please"
The clerk looks at him and says, "Are you Polish?"
FD-Ski, now hot under the collar, says, "Well, yes I am, but, if I had asked for Italian Sausage would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German Sausage, would you ask me if I was German?
Or if I wanted a taco would you ask if I was Mexican?! HUH?!?!"
The clerk says, "Well, no."
Then FD-Ski says, "WELL, just WHY then, did you ask me if I'm Polish just because I ask for Polish Sausage?"
The clerk says, "Because this is a hardware store."
hehe, <S> Fd-ski! (BTW, I too have polish ancestry from around 1600...or thereabouts..)
