“Your People Are A Little Bit Polish”
I would argue against that but Crac is right.
After we ate (or, more accurately) attempted to eat at a place in Vilnius that had gnomes for tables, we left a random amount of Lithuanian money on the table for the pleasure of sitting at the table waiting for food that would never come and went back to the hotel for a yummy guacamole sandwich.
Crac was hungry and irritable and was bitching about how slow and useless the Lithuanians were.
“Admit it, admit it. Your people are a little bit Polish. They have some of that Polish in them.”
“Go to hell.”
I was about to say something else to her, something meaner, but off in the distance, down the road I heard a song, that sort of went like “Ohhhh, Ohhhhhh, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”
“What the…”
And then, before our eyes, appeared the stupidest invention ever, an invention so stupid that it had to be a Polish creation. I’m sort of at a loss to describe it because even now, it doesn’t seem like something so stupid can exist.
It was a mobile bar driven by drunks on bicycles. The drunks lines up facing each other and had pedals attached to their stools. A captain stood in the middle steering the bar. It was called “Velobar”.
And there it was, lumbering up the street, a main street, with vehicle and pedestrian traffic. A street that Crac and I were in middle of with our mouths open, about to be hit by “Velobar”.
The song got louder as the drunks got closer. Crac and I moved to the sidewalk to watch “Velobar” go by.
I sighed.
“You’re right Crac, my people are a little bit Polish.”
