I just saw this old episode of South Park where the boys go to Costa Rica. I understand most of the Spanish, but I can't make out the middle of the sentence when he says, "A cuantos Polaks...a comer un burrito."

A little help? Here's the clip.

"A cuantos Polacos les toma comerse un burrito?"

The interesting thing about this clip is the actor speaking the line speaks Spanish perfectly, but it's obvious he's reading from a script written by someone who translated "How many Poles does it take to eat a burrito?" literally, almost word for word.

Polaks lol. My dad always use to joke about them. They are some of the nicest people I have ever met; sincere, honest friendly. But wait do they have a Polish mafia also??

Funny thing: In Europe they don't tell Polish jokes and Poles are well-respected people, not least because they've withstood the adversity of every 100 years or so some wouldbe world-dominating country or another overruns the plains of Poland on their way to squashing another country. No, in Europe. they tell Rumanian jokes (those pdf's have an equally dismal history)

Bring 'em, nobody has any that I haven't heard before. Some are pretty funny actually.

How might a native speaker have phrased the question?
