While I understand the desire for self-deprecation, I thought the joke was pretty funny, actually. Maybe it's just because I'd never heard it before.

I'm not sure how you went about editing, but as a native English teacher I feel the need to tell you that one sentence contains a mistake:

"They (we) should hate the Russians or at least be very, very cautious about them like our Polish friends do."

Should be:

"They (we) should hate the Russians or at least be very, very cautious about them like our Polish friends are."

The reasons are complicated and I'm not sure you want to hear them, so I'll just leave this here. Sorry -- I just can't resist as a self-professed grammar nazi.

Please post on Subtack in English more often, your Hungarian perspective on these matters is valuable.

Mióta az első hónapokban Kaiser Ferenc felmosta vele a padlót, azóta kerülöm. Most viszont megnézve az FB oldalát, rosszabb mint gondoltam. Pedig maradhatott volna egy saját szakterületére koncentráló ( nem túl kiváló - felületes odt vizsgálat) NKE-s oktató.
