What do you get when you drop a piano on an army base? How many guitar players does it take to change a light bulb? What did the guitarist do when his teacher told him to turn his amplifier on?

These jokes are all over the world. They always involved some neighboring nation. But several decades ago I was told by a Pole that in Poland they always involved Polish policemen. Is there anyone on this forum and confirm or deny that?

Well. while we're on the subject--

Growing up in North Carolina, I heard similar jokes about Polish firing squads.

I have no idea why--there was not a significant Polish population where I lived, and unlike the significant racism towards African-Americans and Hispanics, I don't think anyone had any attitudes about Poles. That was just how the joke went.

I can confirm that.
Policemen were considered to be the dumbest of the dumb when I was young, in the communist times. No offense to any present-day polish policemen.

To give you some taste of polish "policeman jokes", here are a few:

"Abstract" jokes:
A policeman stands on the corner and thinks. (Supposed to be hilarious because policemen don't think.)
A policeman walks out of a library. (Supposed to be hilarious because policemen do not read.)
And so on...

Here is a more "normal" one:
A policeman walks by a pet store, there is an aquarium in the display. Some guy looks at the fish, moves his finger along the glass, and soon all the fishes follow his finger. "Hey, that's cool, how do you do it?" asks the policeman. "Its simple, the lower intelligence always mimics the higher intelligence" answers the guy. The guy walks off, leaving the policeman to look at the fishes. Pretty soon the policeman starts to open and close his mouth as if gasping for air...
