    As today is Sunday I remember this one

    "Myślał indyk o niedzieli a w sobotę łeb mu ścięli"

    which literally means

    "Turkey(a bird) was thinking about Sunday but he got cut head on Saturday"

    In the old 1970s show Banacek, the main character would say at least one Polish proverb every episode.

    "Jeśli wejdziesz między wrony, musisz krakać jak i one."

    If you step among the crows, you must cry as well.

    Meaning: When you enter some kind of a social circle, you must adjust and behave as they do.
