I thought the following, while not a joke, was really funny...
"Donosy", BTW, means "secret reports/denunciations" and is an
e-newsletter written at the physics dept of the Polish Academy of
Science in Poland
Statystyczna Polka
czyta miesiecznie 2.7 ksiazki, Polak tylko 1.5, srednio - dwie, jednak
48% nie przeczytalo w ostatnim miesiacu zadnej ksiazki. Mniej wiecej
1/4 z tego to poradniki i podreczniki. Wbrew wyrazanych czasem obawom
internet nie zabija czytelnictwa, przeciwnie - uzytkownik internetu
czyta 3.2 ksiazki, pozostali - 1.5.
Statistical Polishwoman
reads 2.7 books a month, a Polishman only 1.5-two. However, 48% have
not read any books in the last month. About a quarter of the read
material is in the advice/textbooks category. Contrary to the often
expressed fears, the web does not "kill" reading; quite the opposite -
those who use Internet read 3.2 books, the others 1.5...
