Middle Eastern Conversation
At some hotel in Beirut , a Lebanese was eating his breakfast calmly: coffee, croissant, baguette, butter and jam. A Syrian tourist with a big chewing gum sat on the table in front of him. While the Lebanese ignored him, the Syrian started a conversation:
Syrian: you Lebanese, you eat all your bread?
Lebanese (in bad humour): yes.
Syrian (after making a big balloon with his chewing gum): we in Syria , we eat only the soft interior, and we put the outer part in containers, we recycle them to croissants and we sell them to the Lebanese.
The Syrian was smiling proudly, while the Lebanese listened silently. He persists: and you eat your jam with the bread?
Lebanese: yes.
Syrian (another big balloon noise): we in Syria , we eat fresh fruits at breakfast, and we put the peels and the seeds in containers, we recycle them to jam and sell them to Lebanese.
At that moment the Lebanese asked: do you make love in Syria?
Syrian (with a big smile): yeah sure, and a lot too.
Lebanese: and what do you do with the condoms?
Syrian: well, we throw them like everybody else in the world.
Lebanese: well, not us. Once we finish using our condoms, we put them in containers, we recycle them to chewing gums and we sell them to Syrians.
