So a ton of people go in for a job interview and the final two prospects are...[racist?][dirty] ...a Harvard grad, and a Polak. Leaning toward no particular preference, the hiring manager decides to put them to a test. ""You both have 30 minutes to write a poem,"" he says. ""But the catch, is that it has to end in Timbuktu. The best poem gets the job."" Both men accept the instructions and retreat to their respective rooms. 5 minutes later, out pops the Pole, claiming he is done. ""Fine, that's fine."" Says the hiring manager dismissively. ""But, we still need to wait for the other applicant to finish."" The Polak sat patiently holding his poem. Utilizing all his time, the Harvard graduate emerged from his room with seconds to spare. ""Well done,"" said the hiring manager. ""Now let's hear them. Why don't you go first?"" he asked the Harvard graduate, anticipating the superior submission. The grad began, ""I was walking across the desert sand, When I came across a caravan. They took me in and saw me through To the American embassy in Timbuktu."" ""Very, very good."" exclaimed the hiring manager. ""Now let's hear your's, Mr. Polak."" The Pole approached the podium, clearing his throat. ""Tim and I, a-hunting went. Came across three cunt in a tent. Them being three and us being two, I bucked one, and Tim bucked two."" Edit: This is the earliest long joke I remember. I heard it told to my father by my uncle around age 3 and remembered every word since. I remember reciting it for the folks on many of their get-togethers.
