What a joke! I remember a book a few years ago which claimed that Columbus was an illegitimate son of Portuguese royalty. Now Polish????
To: Coleus
I don’t know any Polish people with red hair. And I’m a quarter Polish.
Doesn’t matter though.

Well of course it matters! Columbus Day would become a Polish holiday.

Not only that! A well informed Polish friend once told me that Elvis Presley's manager (one of the two shown below), who, it's been alleged, was really a Dutch sailor named Andreas Cornelis ("Dries") van Kuijk, claiming to be Colonel Tom Parker, was really a Polish Jew named Bernie Schwartz, claiming to be a Dutch sailor named Andreas Cornelis ("Dries") van Kuijk, who claimed to be Colonel Tom Parker.
