Sorry. This reminds me of a story my husband tells about the Polish pilots who
were flying out of England in WWII. Some Scots were a little hazy about just
exactly where the Poles were from, and said, "So basically, you're really just
Russians, right?" To which the smiling Poles replied, "Yeah, just like you're
really Englishmen." It was eventually settled....
