An Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman were doing some labour work on the roof of a building. Come lunchtime they all sit down together and the Englishman says "If my wife has given me ham sandwiches again today, I am going to jump off this building. I am sick of it, everyday I get ham sandwiches"

So he opens his lunch box and there he has it, ham sandwiches. The Scotsman turns to the Irishman and says "I tell you what, if my wife has given me cheese sandwiches again today I am going to jump off this building too, I hate cheese" He opens his lunch box and there he sees
cheese sandwiches.

The irishman says "Well if my wife has given me egg sandwiches again I will join you." He too looks inside his lunch box and sees egg sandwiches. "That's it then" says the Englishman and throws himself of the building, killing himself instantly with the impact of hitting the pavement below.

"So long mate" says the Scotsman as he jumps off the building, again dying the instant he hits the pavement. The Irishman joins his mates, jumping last.

Their wives decide to have a joint funeral to honour their friendship. "I don't understand it" said the Englishman's wife, "If he had said he didn't want ham sandwiches, I would have made him anything he liked" "I don't understand it either said the Scotsman's wife "If he had said he didn't like cheese I wouldn't have given it to him"

"Well I don't understand it either" said the Irishman's wife "He always made his own sandwiches"
