The Polish Cloth- Humble Beginnings

"The polish cloth did not come from an Easter European country. It did not ride the wave of Diaspora like the Polish Sausage or Kielbasa did, only to be enjoyed in restaurants all over the nation.",said the holographic librarian lecture. “Believe it or not, it was created right here in The United States over 90 years ago using a secret formula that helps clean and polish any type of metal. The same thing can be said about the polish hot dog which was developed in Chicago by Polish immigrants hoping to add a little bit of old world flavor to a new world favorite.

I then interrupted the talking hologram and said, "I believe that you may perhaps have you circuits mix up." The representation of the librarian then froze as I tried to explain further, "The term Polish, to identify people who descend from Poland is pronounced with a long "o" sound. This is where the Kielbasa originated from. Then there is the term polish with the short “o” sound which refers to the act of rubbing a piece of metal until it is shiny. The two terms, though spelled the same, are completely different in their meanings.”

I had my doubts that the quad learning processor was still intact, and I had hoped this cleared things up for the four hundred year old system.

"I do not compute, Syntax Error number 4", the hologram asserted before utterly freezing and then rebooted itself. When it came back online, it no longer had any remembrance of me or of our past three months together contained in the subbasement of a destroyed earth. I now became aware that the entire polish cloth enquiry was a failure, but I had to ask if I was ever going to come across the secret formula ever again. I had to understand how silver could be made to shine without damaging it if I was ever going to get back to my era.
