A Pole Gets Three Wishes

For John, BLUF:  There are some deep seated hatreds in Eurasia.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

I had forgotten this joke, until I just saw it.

A Polish man finds a genie in a bottle, one decades-old joke goes. The genie offers him three wishes.

The Pole says, “I want the Chinese to invade Poland and then go back to China.”

So it happens.

For his next wish, the Pole also asks for the Chinese to invade Poland and then go home.

So it happens.

For his third wish, the Pole again asks for the Chinese to invade Poland and go home.

“I gave you three wishes,” the genie cries. “Why did you ask for the Chinese to invade Poland and then go home three times?”

“Because they had to march across Russia six times.”
