He was having his coffee, croissants, bread, butter & jam at the hotel's coffee house.
A Malaysian man who was chewing gum, sat down next to him & started a casual conversation.
Malaysian : "You Singaporeans eat the whole bread?"Singaporean : "Of course." Malaysian : "We don't. In Malaysia, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants & sell them across to Singapore." The Malaysian then had a smirk on his face while the Singaporean listened in silence.
Malaysian : "Do you eat the jam with the bread?" Singaporean : "Of course." Malaysian (chuckling): "We don't. In Malaysia, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds & other left-overs in acontainer, recycle them, transform them into jam..... before we sell it across to Singapore."
This time, the Singaporean retorted : "Do you have sex in Malaysia?" Malaysian : "Why, of course we do" Singaporean : "Do you wear protection" Malaysian : "Of course! We wear condoms." Singaporean : "And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?" Malaysian : "Stupid question ! Of course we throw them away." Singaporean : "We don't. In Singapore, the government secretly puts them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum & sell them across to Malaysia,... & that's the real reason why we banned chewing gum in Singapore."
