Murphy’s Irish Joke
“Steve” the Brit, “Jock” the Scot and “Kelly” the Irishman all share their lunch break sitting on a girder on the fiftieth floor of the new high-rise building they are working on downtown.
Steve says, “Steak and Kidney Pie for lunch again–my wife is driving me crazy. If I have to eat Steak and Kidney Pie one more time I will jump off this girder.”
Jock opens his lunch – “Haggis again. Damn haggis–if I have to eat it one more time I’m jumping too.”
Kelly looks in his lunch pail–“ Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the donkey…bread and jam again–one more day of bread and jam for lunch and I’m jumping too.”
Sure enough, at lunch the next day: Steve gets Steak and Kidney Pie “Arrgh...” he tears at his hair and he jumps.
Jock gets Haggis–screams and goes over the side.
Kelly opens his bread and jam, throws up his arms and jumps too.
Later the wives are gathering at the funeral home, confused and grieving. Steve’s wife says, “I had no idea that Steve so hated Steak and Kidney Pie.”
Jock’s wife, “I thought Jock liked haggis.”
Kelly’s wife, confused, “Kelly made his own sandwiches.”
