"This story, from Reuters, is making the rounds of the world’s media sites today. It’s a classic, end-of-the-news chuckle that manages to hit almost every Polish stereotype in less than 200 words:
A Polish man living in Germany went about his business for five years without noticing he had been shot in the head because he was drunk when it happened. Police in the western city of Bochum said on Tuesday doctors found a .22 caliber bullet in the back of his head after the 35-year-old went to have what he thought was a cyst removed. Presented with the 5.6mm projectile, the man recalled he had received a blow to the head around midnight at a New Year’s party “in 2004 or 2005,” but had forgotten about it because he had been “very drunk,” a police spokesman said."
