In a compendium of practical jokes I purchased in England, I read the
following (and I paraphrase):
    Just before a friend of mine left for his vacation in Poland, he
    asked a Polish acquaintance for a few useful phrases.  He returned
    with a very poor opinion of Polish hospitality.  The phrase he had
    been taught for "Excuse me" was "Take down your knickers" -- he had
    a difficult time on crowded buses.

Never trust a person with a sense of humor,
