A gum-chewing American and a Frenchman are sitting together in a restaurant. The American feels really proud to be an American, so he starts a conversation.
While blowing a bubble, he asks, "When you eat bread, do you eat all of it?"
"Mais oui! Of course!" responds the Frenchman.
"Well," says the American, snapping his gum, "we only eat the soft part of it. The rest we collect in containers, take to a factory and put through a mill. What comes out are little breads that we sell in France.
"And what about steaks?" he continues, chewing voraciously. "Do you eat all parts of them?"
"Bien sur! We do," replies the Frenchman.
"You don't say!" says the American, grinning. "We don't! We only eat the meaty part of the steak. The greasy part we collect in containers, take to a factory, put through a mill, and what comes out are little steaks that we sell in France."
Now the Frenchman is really riled. So he asks, "And what do Americans do with their used condoms?"
"Hey, we throw them away of course," says the American, starting to blow another bubble.
"Ha!" exclaims the Frenchman. "We collect them in containers, take them to a factory and put them through a mill. What comes out is chewing gum that we sell in America!"
