A Polish immigrant went to the registry to apply for a driver's license.
First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test.
The optician showed him a card with the letters.  On the bottom row were these letters:
C Z W I N O S T A C Z
"Can you read this?" the optician asked.
"Read it? I know the fellow."
