Three construction workers were sitting on a beam...
Three construction workers (an Italian, a Mexican, and a guy named Bubba from Mississippi) were sitting on a steel beam at the top of a skyscraper they were building. It was lunchtime. The Italian worker opens his lunch box and sees that he has spaghetti and meatballs.
"Son of a bitch", he says, "spaghetti and meatballs again. Everyday it's spaghetti and meatballs. I swear if I get spaghetti and meatballs again tomorrow I'm going to commit suicide by jumping off this building."
The Mexican worker opens up his lunch box and sees a taco. "Damnit", he says, "another damn taco, I'm so tired of tacos, If I have to eat a taco again tomorrow I'm going to jump off of this building and commit suicide".
The bubba opens his lunch box and sees a bologna sandwich. "Shit!!! another damn bologna sandwich. If I get another bologna sandwich tomorrow, I'm going to jump and kill myself too! Fuck a bologna sandwich!"
The next day during lunch, they are sitting on the same steel beam. The Italian worker opens his lunch box and finds spaghetti and meatballs. Without saying a word he closes the box and throws himself off of the beam and drops twenty floors to his death. The Mexican worker opens his box, finds a taco. "¡Ay, caramba" he closes the lunch box and jumps to his death. An Ooey gooey mess was beginning to develop. Bubba opens his box and finds a bologna sandwich... Goddamn it! Well here I come boys. A couple of days later the families of all three workers meet at the cemetery just after the funerals. The Italian worker's wife was crying. "Oh, if only I had known how he felt about the spaghetti and meatballs, I could have fixed him a muffalotta, and he would still be here today.
The Mexican worker's wife said "I could have fixed my husband a nachos or an enchilada, and he would be here with me today".
There was a moment of silence while everybody was waiting for the Bubba's wife to share her thoughts...
"Dang it I just don't get it", she said, "Bubba always made his own lunches."
