Proudski Polski

POLISH JOKES WENT out of fashion in the late 80s, but the editors at Polish American World are looking to bring them back. The New York-based English-language newspaper recently printed the following straight-faced headline: "Dennis Kozlowski is the Wisest Businessman in Corporate World."

Apparently, the former headcheese of Tyco, who's likely headed for the big house, "is a sure fire businessman with a record of accomplishments [including] leading his company through a recession that flattened most of its counterparts...and he is proud that he's Polish but never changed his Polish name!"

Next issue, Polish American World will profile Martha boy-toy Peter Bacanovic, "The Best Schmooze-meister and Ass-Kisser in the Corporate World."

How do you get a Polack with one arm out of a tree again?
