I'm surprised to hear that from Greg.  Even if he meant it as a joke,
it doesn't translate very well.

The question I've got is how did you get a work permit.  Australia is
very tight on them and normally reserves them for in demand
occupations, such as the medical field.

My grandparents were from Poland, not that I can speak any Polish.

Speaking of Poles, what do you think of Robert Kubica?  Is he a
popular athlete in Poland right now?

Did you know he was sitting between two Poles when he typed that message?

Too 50's to be acceptable or desirable - as a joke or anything else.

Me, I thought it particularly appropriate given that the guy is Polish.  If
he were Lithuanian, I could see the confusion.

Wait 'til he becomes an Aussie.  Then I'll really let him have it.  The only
people more backwards than Poles are Aussies.

Oh my dear you thought. As for a lawyer your jokes are not too clever.

Try google "backward state" etc. you would be suprised by results.

It's nice to see that all two Polish divers stick together.  What are you
going to do when your buddy moves, dive solo?

Q:  How does a Polish diver know when he's out of air?

How did you guess? Yes, I prefer to dive solo. Usually I take two
tanks, two regulators etc. and only one diver with a brain. I suppose
that you take under water only half of above mentioned?

> Q:  How does a Polish diver know when he's out of air?

His lawyer will tell him?

Actually, yes.  It certainly doesn't much of one's brain to dive as it's
hardly rocket science.  Therefore, what Polish people need all their brain
to do, I can easily do with half.  Either the right or the left, depending
on how I'm feeling that day.  After all, I'm on vacation when I'm diving.  I
like to let my brain relax once in a while.

I don't get it.  Maybe it's that subtly intellectual Polish humor that flew
over my head.  I figured you'd just look at your gauge like other divers.

Interesting invention. This way your brain is like brand new car -
never used before.

That's really funny. Until now I thought that the gauge is to check how
much air is left. It can  even show that the diver has low air
situation,but checking the gauge to know that the diver is out of air
makes me laugh.  Maybe it's time for you to get certified. HSA is
highly recommended.

So you're not quite the liberal you thought you were.
