Sausage Mix-Up

A guy goes into a store and says to the clerk, “I’d like some Polish Sausage.”

The clerk looks at him and says, “Are you Polish?”

The guy says, “Well, yes I am. If I had asked for Italian sausage would you ask me if I was Italian, or if I had asked for German sausage, would you ask me if I was German? If I had asked for a taco would you ask if I was Mexican?”

The clerk says, “Well, no.”

The guy says, “Then why do you ask me if I’m Polish just because I ask for Polish sausage?”

The clerk says, “Because this is a hardware store.”
