Subject: THE GUM
The Gum
A burst of fruit flavor.
A Michigan man was having coffee and croissants with butter jam in a
diner when a Canadian man, chewing gum, sat down next to him. The Michigan man politely ignored the Canadian, who, nevertheless, started up a
conversation.
The Canadian snapped his gum and said, "You Michigan folk eat the whole bread?"
The Michigan man frowned, annoyed with being bothered during his breakfast,
and replied, "Of course."
The Canadian blew a huge bubble. "We don't. In Canada, we only eat
what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle them, transform
them into croissants and sell them to Michigan." The Canadian had a smirk on
his face.
The Michigan man listened in silence. The Canadian persisted. "D'ya eat jam
with the bread?"
Sighing, the Michigan man replied, "Of course."
Cracking his gum between his teeth, the Canadian said, "We don't. In Canada,
we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels,seeds, and
leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam sell it to
Michigan"
The Michigan man then asked, "Do you have sex in Canada?"
The Canadian smiled and said, "Why, of course we do."
The Michigan 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 Michigan mans turn to smile. "We don't. In Michigan, we put
them in a container, recycle them, melt them down to chewing gum and sell them to the Canadians."
