TEMPERATE ZONE
After WWI, the border between the newly independent Polish state and Russia was being delineated. One day the demarcation committee reached a hut, that the borderline was about to go right through the middle of. In the hut lived an elderly couple and a member of the committee thought that it would be kind if they would ask them which country they want to belong to.
“If it is all the same to you, we would prefer to live in Poland,” - answered the old man.
“And why if we may ask?”
“We are old and feeble and the severe colds of those Russian winters would be hard for us to bear.”
