A customer in the store asked a sales assistant, “In what aisle can I find the Polish sausage?”
The clerk asked him, “Are you Polish?”
The man, who was clearly offended by this question, said to the sales assistant, “Yes I am. But let me ask you something”.
The man then proceeds with a number of questions:
- If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?
- Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?
- Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?
- Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?
- Or if I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?
The sales assistant, rather emparrassed by this list of questions, replied, “No, I probably wouldn’t”.
The man said, “Well then, because I asked for Polish sausage, why did you ask me if I’m Polish?”
The sales assistant replied, “Because sir, you are in Home Depot.”
