Is it okay to poll Poles?

Is it proper to poll, Poles? It wouldn't seem right to germany a Pole or Belize a Pole; so is polling a Pole okay?

I voted yes since I called my daughter-in-law, a Pole, to wish her a happy 31st birthday/tax day. Part of my call involved polling her on a number of polling points, including her feelings as a Pole in an ethnically diverse and politically disunited country beset by polls polling the pols as well as the people about directions for our national polity and the direction of political parties. Polling the people is OK (I guess). But, when they starting polling the pols who have been elected, not polled, it just gets a little politically stupid (IMO). But, yes, poll the Poles since my daughter-in-law likes phone calls.

Puritans Polling Poles Precludes Proper Precautionary Practices. Perchance.

As long as you don't make them pay a Pole tax.

Alrighty, this is getting a little out of hand - somebody's got to notify a moderator to tone down the silliness.

Oh, wait, never mind.

How apolling.
