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 open 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!"
