roserrsp a very dear friend from Canada sent me this e-mail lately. I don't know what it means Subject: I am Canadian >>A Canadian man was having coffee and croissants with butter and jam >>in a diner when an American man, chewing gum, sat down next to him. >>The Canadian politely ignored the American, who, >>nevertheless,started up a conversation. >>The American snapped his gum and said, "You Canadian folk eat the >>whole bread?" >>The Canadian 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, >>transform them into croissants and sell them to Canada." >>The American had a smirk on his face. The Canadian listened in >>silence. The American persisted. "D'ya eat jelly with the bread?" >>Sighing, the Canadian replied,"Of course." >>Smacking the gum with 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 Canada." >>The Canadian then asked, "Do you have sex in the States?" >>The American smiled and said, "Why of course we do." >>The Canadian 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." The American replied. Now it was >>the Canadian's turn to smile. >>"We don't." he said, "In Canada, we put them in a container, >>recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell them to the >>United States." >> >>I AM CANADIAN!! Are they trying to tell me something? Is there some hidden meaning? :-)
