An Irishman, a Mexican and a Blond Guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.
They were eating lunch and the Irishman 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 Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time, I'm jumping too."
The Blond Guy opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."
The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.
The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.
The Blond Guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna, and jumped to his death as well.
At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!"
The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."
Everyone turned and stared at the Blonde's wife.
The Blonde's wife said, "Don't look at me. He makes his own lunch."

Gabriel came to the Lord and said, "I have to talk to you, I have some
Southern Cajun folks up here in Heaven who are causing some problems. They are
swinging on the Pearly Gates, my horn is missing, and barbecue sauce is
all over their robes, ham hock, sparerib, and pig feet bones are all
over the streets of Gold. Some folks are walking around with one wing. They have been late
taking their turn in keeping the stairway to heaven clean. There are
watermelon seeds all over the clouds. Some of them aren't even wearing
their halos, saying it is messing up their hair."
The Lord said, "I made them special, as I did you, my angel. Heaven is home to all my
children. If you really want to know about problems, let's call the
Devil. The Devil answered the phone, "Hello? Hold on." The Devil returned to
the phone and said, "Hello Lord, what can I do for you?"
The Lord replied, "Tell me what kind of problems you are having down
there."
The Devil said, "Wait one minute," and puts the Lord on hold. After 5
minutes he returned to the phone, and said "Okay, I'm back. What was
the question?"
The Lord said, "What kind of problems are you having down there?" The
Devil said, "Man, I don't believe this..... hold on, Lord." This
time the Devil was gone for 15 minutes.
The Devil returned and said, "I'm sorry Lord, I can't talk right now.
These Southern Cajun folks done put the fire out, and are trying to
install air conditioning!"
This is the only word in the English language that could be a noun, verb, adj, adv, prep.
UP
Read until the end... you'll laugh.
This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is "UP." It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car.
At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takesUP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaksUP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now. . . my time is UP!
Oh. . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night?
U
P!
Cop on horse says to little girl on bike, "Did Santa get you that?" "Yes," replies the little girl. "Well tell him to put a reflector light on it next year!" and fines her $5. The little girl looks up at the cop and says, "Nice horse you've got there, did Santa bring you that?" The cop chuckles and replies, "He sure did!" "Well," says the little girl, "Next year tell Santa that the dick goes under the horse, not on top of it!"
