Eritrean and American men
an Eritrean is enjoying a healthy breakfast -
coffee, croissants, toast, butter & jam, etc. when
an American, chewing gum, sits next to him and
starts an unwanted conversation:


American: "You Eritrean eat the whole bread?"
the Eritrean men: "Of course."
American (blowing bubble with his gum): "We don't. In
the States, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we
collect in a container, recycle, rebake them into
croissants and sell them to Africa."
American: "D'ya eat jam with the bread?"
Eritrean men: "Of course."
American (chuckling and crackling his gum between his
teeth):
"We don't. In the States we eat fresh fruit
for breakfast, put all the peels, seeds and left overs
into containers, recycle them into jam and sell it to
Africa."
Eritrean men: "Do you have sex in America?"
American: "Of course we do."
Eritrean men: "And what do you do with the condoms?"
American: "Throw them away of course."
Eritrean men: "We don't. We put them in a
container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing
gum and sell it to America."
