CHEWING GUM WITH A YANKIE.

email from Chella Pathmanathan.

An Australian man was having a
coffee and croissants with butter
and jam in a cafe when an
American tourist, chewing gum, sat down next to him.

The Australian politely ignored the American, who, nevertheless started up a conversation.

The American snapped his gum and said, 'You Australian folk eat the whole bread?'

The Australian frowned, annoyed with being bothered during his
breakfast, and replied, 'of course.'

The American blew a huge bubble. 'We don't. In the States, we only
eat what's inside. ?The crusts we collect in a container,
recycle them, transform them into croissants and sell them to Australia .'

The American had a smirk on his
face. The Australian listened in silence.

The American persisted, 'D'ya eat jam with your bread?' Sighing, the
Australian replied, 'of course.'

Cracking his gum between his teeth, the American said, 'we don't. In the
States, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds and the
leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam
and sell it to Australia ...

The Australian then
asked, 'Do you have sex in the States?'

The American smiled and said 'Why of course we do'

The Australian leaned closer to him and asked, 'And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?'

'We throw them away, of course!'

Now it was the Australians
turn to smile.

'We don't. In Australia , we put
them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing
gum and sell them to the United States

... Why do you think it's called Wrigley's?'?
