_________________________________________ / Jacek, a Polish schoolboy, is told by \ | his teacher that he has been chosen to | | carry the Polish flag in the May Day | | parade. | | | | "Why me?" whines the boy. "Three years | | ago I carried the flag when Brezhnev | | was the Secretary; then I carried the | | flag when it was Andropov's turn, and | | again when Chernenko was in the | | Kremlin. Why is it always me, teacher?" | | | | "Because, Jacek, you have such golden | | hands," the teacher explains. | | | \ -- being told in Poland, 1987 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
