DEFENDING HIS POLISH HERITAGE

“I’d like some Polish Sausage.”

The clerk looks at him and says: “Are you Polish?”

The guy, clearly offended, says: “Well, yes I am. But
let me ask you…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 had asked for bagels and lox would you ask if I was Jewish?
Huh? Would ya?”

The clerk says: “Well, no.”

With deep self-righteous indignation, the guy says:
“Well, all right then. Why did you ask me if I’m Polish?
Just because I ask for Polish sausage?”

The clerk says: “Because this is a hardware store.”
