	This one is not your standard Polish joke; this is one making
	the rounds in Warsaw.

	A Polish worker walks into a bank to deposit his paycheck.  He has
	heard about Poland's economic problems, and he asks what would happen
	to his money if the bank collapsed.

	"All of our deposits are guaranteed by the finance ministry, sir,"
	the teller replies.

	"But what if the finance ministry goes broke?" the worker asks.

	"Then the government will intercede to protect the working class,"
	the teller says.

	"But what if the government goes broke?" the worker asks.

	"Our socialist comrades in the Soviet Union naturally will come
	to our assistance," the teller responds with growing irritation.

	"And if the Soviet Union goes broke?" the worker asks.

	"Idiot!" the teller snorts. "Isn't that worth losing one lousy
	paycheck?"

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints,
The sinners are much more fun...and only the good die young!
