The Electrician, The Carpenter and the Brick Layer

An electrician, a carpenter and a brick layer are on a building site eating their lunch. The first one opens his lunchbox and exclaims " I don't believe it - tuna sandwiches again!! If I get tuna tomorrow, I'm going to climb up the scaffolding and jump off!"

The carpenter opens his lunchbox and exclaims "Would you believe it - cheese sandwiches again! If I get cheese tomorrow, I'm going to climb up the scaffolding and jump off!"

The bricklayer opens his lunchbox and exclaims " Oh no - ham sandwiches again! If I get ham tomorrow, I'm going to the top and jumping off as well!"

The next day, they all sit down to lunch. the electrician opens his lunch. " I don't believe it - tuna!" Goes up the scaffolding, jumps off, dead.

The carpenter opens his. "Oh no - cheese!" Climbs up, jumps off, dead.

The bricklayer opens his. "Oh no - ham!" Climbs up, jumps off, dead.

Week later the funeral takes place. The priest is comforting the widows. The electrician's widow is crying and says to him " I don't understand it.If only he had told me, I would have given him something different!"

Priest goes to carpenter's widow. "I don't understand it either, if he had told me I would have packed something different!"

Bricklayers widow is crying and exclaims " I REALLY don't understand it, mine made his own sandwiches!!
