21. You really can't have a musical about Poland without casting the Pope.
For that roll, I humbly offer my services. Eight years of Catholic grade school in a Polish neighborhood should qualify me.

All I need is a funny hat, and I'm there.

Q: What do you call a polack in a $5000 hat?
A: Your Emminence

31. Can I nominate my husband??
Edited on Mon Oct-11-04 08:44 PM by amandae
He's always talking about his Polish heritage (75% Polish and proud of it!).

His motto in the military was "it's all a conspiracy against Polish-Americans." In the 2000 census he insisted on adding himself as "other" and then "Polish American." He'd be honored to be in your production. :eyes:

:hi:

Edited for grammatical content :P

49. We'll recruit GOPisEvil as the Polish Judge
who happens to grill the best Polish Kielbasa and ends every case he procedes over with a dumb Polish joke.

GOPisEvil is greek, but in Bush's world that's just about the same country
