There is an old story about a construction worker named Bob, who regularly took his lunch to work. However, everyday he complained profusely about the contents of his lunch box."A turkey sandwich again," he remarked one day, "I hate turkey sandwiches!"
After hearing his daily complaints, one of his co-workers piped in, "Bob, for crying out loud. I can't stand hearing you complain everyday. Just tell your wife to make you other food if you hate turkey sandwiches so much."
To which Bob replied, "Wife? I live alone, and make my own lunch."
