When an English tourist, chewing gum, sat down next to him. The Irishman politely ignored the Englishman, who, nevertheless, started up a conversation. The Englishman snapped his gum and asked, "Do you Irish people eat the whole bread?" The Irishman frowned, annoyed with being bothered during his breakfast, and replied, "Of course." The Englishman blew a huge bubble. "We don't. In England, we only eat what's inside. We collect the crusts in a container, recycle them, transform them into croissants and sell them to Ireland." The Englishman had a smirk on his face.
The Irishman listened in silence. The Englishman persisted. "Do you eat jam with the bread?" Sighing, the Irishman replied, "Of course." Cracking his gum between his teeth, the Englishman said, "We don't. In England, 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 it to Ireland."
The Irishman then asked, "Do you have sex in England?" The Englishman smiled and said, "Why of course we do." The Irishman 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," replied the Englishman. Now it was the Irishman's turn to smile. "We don't. In Ireland, we put them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell them to England. Why do you think it's called 'Wrigley's'?" :no:
