An American, an Italian and a Surd were doing construction work on
scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building...
They were eating lunch and the American 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 Italian opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Pasta again! If
I get pasta one more time I'm going to jump off, too."
The Surd opened his lunch and said, "Curry and Nan again. If I
get Curry and Nan one more time I'm jumping too."
Next day - The American opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and
cabbage and jumps to his death.
The Italian opens his lunch, sees pasta and jumps too.
The Surd opens his lunch, sees Curry and Nan and jumps to his death...
At the funeral.....
The American'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 Italian's wife also weeps and says " I could have given him
pizza or lasagna! I didn't realize he hated pasta so much."
Everyone turned and stared at the Surd's wife...
"Hey, don't look at me," she said, "He makes his own lunch!"
