    They’re calling him Simmons right now on TV. Are we sure it’s pronounced “Simons”?

    Think Carly Simon, Neil Simon, and yes Paul Simon.

    Not Richard Simmons.

    Maybe your too young to remember these famous people?

    Being Polish, I hate Polish jokes.

    Just yesterday I ordered a Polish sausage, and the guy behind the counter said "you must be Polish" I was just like WTF? So you're telling me if someone orders French toast you'd think they're French? If someone orders Belgian waffles they'd be from Belgium? So why just because I ordered Polish sausage you think I'm Polish?

    He said well for starters, this is a hardware store.
