An International Recycling Program 

An American is having breakfast one morning (coffee, croissants, 
bread, butter and jam) when a Frenchman, chewing gum, sits down 
next to him. The American ignores the Frenchman who, 
nevertheless, starts a conversation. 

French man: "You American folk eat the whole bread??" 

American (in a bad mood): "Of course." 

French: (after blowing a huge bubble) "We don't. In France, we 
only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, 
recycle it, transform them into croissants and sell them to the 
states." The Frenchman has a smirk on his face. The American 
listens in silence. 

The Frenchman persists: "Do you eat jelly with the bread??" 

American: "Of Course." 

Frenchman: (cracking his gum between his teeth and chuckling). 
"We don't. In France we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we 
put all the peels, seeds, and leftovers in containers, recycle 
them, transform them into jam and sell the jam to the states." 

The American then asks: "Do you have sex in France?" 

Frenchman: "Why of course we do", he says with a big smirk. 

American: "And what do you do with the condoms once you've used 
them?" 

Frenchman: "We throw them away, of course." 

American: "We don't. In America, we put them in a container, 
recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell them to 
France."
