	This is one that was told to me by my professor when I was taking
	a class on Eastern European history since WWII.  I can't remember
	it exactly but I hope I can get the idea across.

	Back in '80 or 81' the workers were rioting in Gdansk and there
	were fears that the Soviets would invade Poland to put down the
	demonstrations.  Foreign correspodents were curious as to just
	what the Poles would do if they were invaded.  They asked,

	"What will you do if the East Germans invade from the West and
	the Soviets invade from the East? Who will you fight first?"

	To which the Poles replied,

	"Why, we will fight the Germans first.  Business before pleasure."
