"Żyd płacze, kiedy uderzy.”

At least you didn't ask for Morse or semaphore.
I haven't verified that it really is a Polish proverb.

Okay you passed the acid test, so bring on the seltzer water - on the rocks - with Polish vodka and a twist. If it isn't Polish it does a great job of faking it. I think I'll stick to the English translation. But I do have a Polish friend. People without Polish friends have not found out what true friendship is all about.

That's a Polish proverb I just made up.
