Sent in by Art Chimes The explanation of how I came to this bit is true, but a bit incomplete. A friend and I smuggled a portable reel-to-reel tape recorder into the studio (against all the rules) and got a very bad recording of this David Frost story. Back in the 1960s NBC's schedule was graced with a program of topical satire called "That Was The Week That Was," or TW3. Those lucky enough to attend the live broadcast were treated to a a bit of humor and music before the show went on the air. (The "warm-up" is aimed at getting the audience in a upbeat frame of mind so they'll laugh harder and clap longer....) If you were seated in Studio 8-H a few minutes before 9:30 pm on Friday, July 3, 1964, you would have heard David Frost tell this story snatched from the news of that very day. I thought, probably, you'd like to know -- and indeed, I can see that you want to know -- the latest news from Poland. I can see you want to know it. (spotting late arrivals:) Ah, good evening, welcome to the show. You've only missed two obscene jokes so far. (laughter) Ah, this is the latest news from Poland, and it gives you an idea of what a topical, up-to-the-minute show this is. Uh, it's an incident that took place this very afternoon in a railway carriage just outside Warsaw. Now there were four people in this railway carriage. There was an ooooold Polish woman, a young Polish girl, a Russian officer, and a Polish patriot. And the train went into a tunnel. And in the darkness, there was the sound of a kiss. (long kissing sound) I could go on. Followed by a very hard slap. Which I won't actually do. And when the train emerged from the tunnel, there was the Russian officer with a slowwwwly closing eye and a rapidly bleeding nose. And the old Polish woman thought, how brave of the young girl to strike a Russian officer. And the young girl thought, how odd that the Russian officer should kiss the old woman, and not me. And the Russian officer thought, how lucky the Polish patriot is. He kisses the girl and she hits me. And the Polish patriot thought, what a clever Polish patriot I am. I kiss the back of my hand, hit a Russian officer in the face, and nobody says a word. (laughter and applause)
