From a Polish visitor in the 1970s: The Polish people are blessed with 3 virtues: honesty, loyalty and intelligence. Unfortunately, at birth each Pole gets allocated only 2 of these. Thus there are 3 types of Poles: those who are intelligent and loyal, but they are not very honest, those who are intelligent and honest, but they are not very honest, and those who are both loyal and honest, but alas, they are not very intelligent.
