>>513567339 (OP)The original joke:
A Polish man one day finds a lamp and rubs it, and out of the lamp pops a genie. The genie gives him the usual rules, and asks for the man’s first wish.
“I wish for a Mongol horde to raid Poland.”
The genie thinks this is odd, but snaps his fingers and Mongols raid small villages and towns at the border of Poland. When they’re done, he asks for the man’s second wish.
“I wish for a Mongol horde to raid Poland.”
The genie is really confused now, but snaps his fingers and the Mongols come. This time they raid further into Poland, sacking a few cities and killing thousands of people. He asks for the man’s third wish.
“I wish for a Mongol horde to raid Poland.”
This time, the Mongols come and raid half the country, killing tens of thousands and burning a handful of cities. When it’s done, the genie asks
“Why would you ask for you homeland to be raided and destroyed!”
And the Pole replies
“Well, for the Mongols to get to Poland 3 times, they had to go through Russia six!”
