However, any reference to a Polish joke is in poor taste, and I do apologize for repeating that.

For the record, so called Polish "jokes" which are really subhuman intelligence jokes about Polish people, came from Nazi propaganda since the Nazi Germans felt the Polish people had subhuman intelligence since they are Slavic. Ironically, anti-Polish bigots in Hollywood and NBC-TV imported them into the US in the 1960's and 1970's in an attempt to condition the American public to have the same anti-Polish bigotry that they have. Jonathan Katrowitz sounds like deep down he is prejudice against Polish people.
