A joke about two twin brothers working together on a construction site. A little lesson on learning responsibility on packing your own lunch.
It was a typical Wednesday at the South Louisiana constitution site. Twin brothers Jason and Jesse broke for lunch. They perch themselves on a beam 10 stories high, with a beautiful view of Bayou Lafourche below. Jason opens his lunch bag and notices a a ham and cheese sandwich. Jason is rather upset, and expresses his feelings to his twin brother Jesse. “You know Jesse, I work a 12 hour, 5 days a week schedule, all I ask for is a decent lunch.” “I promise if I have another ham and cheese sandwich for lunch tomorrow, I will leap off this beam.” Jesse nods in approval and replies, ” I know what you mean brother.” “If I have another tuna fish salad for my lunch tomorrow I will join you.”
The following day both brother set up in their favorite spot for lunch. Jason reaches deep in his lunch box to only find another ham and cheese sandwich. Jason looks at his brother and says, “Well Jesse I enjoyed sharing my life with you, but you finally get to experience life as a singular individual, your plural cannot eat this sandwich.” Jason leaped off the edge. Jesse pulls out a tuna fish salad from his lunch box. Jesse thinks to himself, “well life without a twin really is nice, but this tuna fish salad ruined it.” he also leaps off the ledge.
The Friday morning Jason & Jesse’s widows are mourning, Jason’s wife tells Jesse’s wife, ” I just don’t understand, if Jason hated ham and cheese sandwiches, why didn’t he just tell me. I would have made him a different lunch.” Jesse’s wife replies, “I’m so lost, if Jesse hated tuna fish salad, then why the hell does he fix his own lunch?”
