Frenchman is having his petit dejeuner (coffee, croissants, bread, butter and jam), when an American man, chewing gum, sits down next to him. The Frenchman ignores the American who, nevertheless, starts a conversation:
- American : "You French folk eat the whole bread?"
- Frenchman (in a bad mood) : "Of course."
- American : (after blowing a huge bubble) "We don't. In the States, we only eat what is inside. We collect the crusts in a container, recycle them, and transform them into croissants and sell them to France."
- The American has a smirk on his face. The Frenchman listens in silence.
- The American insists : "D'ya eat jelly with the bread?"
- Frenchman : "Of course."
- American : (cracking his gum between his teeth and chuckling), "We don't.
- In the States, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, put all peels, seeds and leftovers in containers, recycle them, and transform them into jam and sell the jam to France."
- The Frenchman then asks :
- "And what do you do with condoms once you've used them?"
- American : "We throw them away, of course."
- Frenchman : "We don't. In France, we put them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell it to America."
