The Same Lunch

Back to stories index
An Irishman, a Mexican and a Redneck were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building. They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage." "If I get Corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch I'm going to jump off this building." The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again." "If I get Burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too." The Redneck opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again." "If I get a Bologna sandwich one more time I'm jumping too."

Next Day:
The Irishman opens his lunch box, sees Corned beef and cabbage and jumps to his death. The Mexican opens his lunch, sees a Burrito and jumps too.The Redneck opens his lunch, sees the Bologna and jumps to his death also.

At The Funeral:
The Irishman's wife is weeping. She says, "If I'd known how really tired he was of Corned beef and cabbage I never would have given it to him again". The Mexican's wife also weeps and says, "I could have given him Tacos or Enchiladas, I didn't realize he hated Burritos so much." Everyone turned and stared at the Redneck's wife....

"Hey, don't look at me," she said, "He makes his OWN lunch."
