Russia vs Poland

A man lived on the Russian - Polish border, in fact right on it. The problem was the bureaucrats could not decide which country he lived in. After years of his being in political limbo, the powers that be made a remarkable decision. They decided to let the man himself say which country he wished to live in. So a representative from each country called at his modest home and put their proposal to him. Both the Russians and Poles thought he would choose their country. He was told he could think about it first, but he said he didn't need to as he knew the answer already. Poland was the country he wanted to live in.

As the men left, the Russian delegate turned and asked "Why did you choose Poland?"

The reply "I can't stand those Russian winters".
