Consider the four men traveling on a train in Europe: an American businessman, a Cuban tobacco grower, a Russian vodka distiller and a lawyer who's also from the United States.
While they are talking, the Cuban takes out four cigars and passes them around. After lighting his own cigar, the Cuban takes one drag, then throws it out the window.
"Cigars mean nothing in my country," he says. "We have an abundance of them."
After dinner, the Russian passes out bottles of vodka. After taking just one swig, he throws his bottle out the window.
"In Russia," he says, "we have so much vodka it is of no consequence."
The American businessman sits in quiet contemplation for several minutes then gets up and throws the lawyer out the window.
