The old world ribbon salesman in the garment district in NY 75 years ago runs up against a religious bigot who is the buyer for a big department store. No success.
Finally, the salesman is ready to retire and tells his antagonist that they will not do battle again. The bigot softens and says that he will buy enough yellow ribbon from him to reach from the tip of the salesman's nose to the tip of his penis. Deal made.
Three days later, 154 trailer trucks loaded with yellow ribbon show up at the department store. The buyer calls the salesman and yells at him that he broke the deal.
The salesman reminds him that the deal called for enough yellow ribbon to reach from the tip of his nose to the tip of his penis.
"The tip of my penis is in Poland."
