An American is having breakfast, in Paris, one morning (coffee, croissants, bread, butter and jam) when a Frenchman, chewing bubble-gum, sits down next to him. The American ignores the Frenchman who, nevertheless, starts a conversation.
Frenchman: "You American folk eat the whole bread??"
American (in a bad mood): "Of course."
Frenchman: (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 bubble-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."
After a moment of silence, 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 bubble-gum, and sell them to France." |

Well, he took a bite out of that thing, and wouldn't 'let go" - stretched that damn thing like you wouldn't believe. Almost had his eyes crossed tugging on it, - until he realized what was going on. About six of us rolling on the floor. For some reason he never sat anywhere near us again, - and he never said why. ;)
Ya' know...that's almost amusing in a cruel sort of way. My  goes out to that poor guy. (Sorry y'all but I was always the "nurd" that people loved to pick on. And nerd is spelled with an "e" not "u"). Then one day I discovered brut force was a good repellant! and I discovered I was very scrappy! A little stick of dynamite!

Rich, my first response was: OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! followed by a giggle. |

Back in the days when the Soviet Union was still a going concern, their government attempted a PR coup by ordering 1000 cases of condoms from a North Carolina factory, stating the size should be 18" long by 4" in diameter. The factor promptly filled and shipped the order, stamping each box "MEDIUM".
Now, that is too funny.... |

Hahahaahahaha! I had that on email once. I think it was one of those chain mails that went around. I laughed then and I still laugh now.  |
