Mandela was enjoying a hearty breakfast - bacon, eggs, coffee, Croissants, toast, butter, jam, etc. when Bush (chewing gum) sits next to him and starts a conversation:

Bush: ‘You South Africans eat the whole bread?’

Mandela: ‘Of course.’ Bush: (blowing bubbles with his gum) ‘We don’t. In the States, we only eat what’s inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle, re-bake them into Croissants and sell them to South Africa.’ Mandela: ‘Oh Really?’

Bush: ‘D’ya eat jam with the bread?’ Mandela: ‘Of course.’

Bush: (chuckling and crackling his gum) ‘We don’t, in the States we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, put all the peels, seeds and leftovers into containers, recycle them into jam and sell it to South Africa.

‘ Mandela: ‘Do you have sex in America?’

Bush: ‘Of course we do.’ Mandela: ‘And what do you do with the condoms?’ Bush: ‘Throw them away of course.

‘ Mandela: ‘We don’t. We pack them into containers, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell them to America.’
