Back in '80 or '81 the workers were rioting in Gdansk and there were fears
that the Soviets would invade Poland to put down the demonstrations. Foreign
correspondents were curious as to just what the Poles would do if they were
invaded. They asked, "What will you do if the East Germans invade from the
West and the Soviets invade from the East? Who will you fight first?"
To which the Poles replied, "Why, we will fight the Germans first.
Business before pleasure."
