Non-Stalin Joke, Translated from the Polish.

A policeman on duty finds a dead body lying on the kerb. He gets out his notebook to record the incident, licks his pencil, writes the date, time, name of street, and then comes to "location of the incident".

He writes, 'curb', no, that's not how you spell it; 'cerb?', no, that's not right; 'kurb?', no; 'korb?'.

He gives up trying to spell, kicks the body off the kerb, and writes 'rode'.
