A lesson in one-upmanship

[Don]

A Scotsman was having coffee and croissants with butter and jam in a café when an American tourist, chewing gum, sat down next to him.

The Scotsman politely ignored the American, who, nevertheless, started up a conservation.

The American snapped his gum and said,' You Brittish folk eat the

whole bread?' the Scotsman 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 into croissants and sell them to the Brits.

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

The American persisted "D 'ya eat jam with the bread?" Sighing, the Scotsman 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 leftovers in containers recycle them, transform

them into jam, and sell it to the Brits.

 

The Scotsman then asked, ' Do you have Sex in the States?' The American smiled and said, 'Why of course we do". The Scotsman 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 Scotsman's turn to smile.

'We don't. In Scotland 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?
