The high steel building workers break for lunch and sit down
high above the city.
The first, a Mexican American, opens his lunch box and complains,
"Not beans and rice again today, Every day, beans &
rice, beans & rice. If I have beans & rice again tomorrow
I will throw myself from this building."
The next man, an African American, opens his lunch box and
exclaims, "Not fried chicken & watermelon again.
Every day fried chicken & watermelon. If I have that again
tomorrow I'll throw myself off too."
The last man, a redneck opens his lunch box and raves, "Not
peanut butter sandwiches again. Every day the same sandwiches.
If I have that one more time tomorrow I'll throw myself off
with you guys."
The next day at lunch the Mexican American opens his lunch
and cries, "Beans & rice.?!?" He throws himself
off the building from the 20th floor!
The African American opens this lunch and sees that he has
fried chicken and watermelon again and throws himself off,
too!
The Redneck opens his lunch and shouts, "Peanut butter
again!" and throws himself off as well!
The next day at the combined funeral the wife of the Mexican
American stands up and tearfully says, "If I only knew
he didn't like beans and rice, I would never have made it
for his lunch."
The wife of the African American stands and says, "I
always thought he liked fried chicken. If I knew he hated
it I would never have made it for his lunch."
The wife of the Redneck stands and says, "I don't understands
it. He always made his own lunch!!!
