Construction Workers
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!!!
Just remember...if
the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
