Two construction workers, Tom and Jerry, are sitting on a beam several stories up. Tom's eating a sandwich from his lunchpail, while Jerry has a Lunchable.
Tom: So Jerry, what did you think of that last sketch?
Jerry: Oh I don't know. I wasn't paying attention. I was too busy here with my lunchable.
Tom: Isn't that for kids?
Jerry: Oh no. Not at all. I love these Lunchables. I mean they're really a thinking man's food.
Tom: Why do you say that?
Jerry: Well just think about it. I mean look at how many combinations you could have. (he demonstrates with the food) You could have two pieces of cracker with one piece of cheese and one piece of ham. Or you could have two pieces of cracker, two pieces of cheese, and two pieces of ham. That's my personal choice. Or you could even have two pieces of cracker and three pieces of the cheese and the ham but then of course, you're left with two extra pieces of cracker. And two pieces of cracker just isn't as good without the ham and cheese. You know what I mean?
Tom: I guess.
Jerry: (holding a CapriSun) Plus they give you this nifty little drink that you'd never in your life buy separately. Or if you do, you shouldn't. I mean it comes free in the Lunchables along with the crackers, ham, and cheese. Plus you get a little Snickers bar and thatŐs really great. (bites into his sandwich) I really love these Lunchables.
Jerry relishes in his Lunchable sandwich while Tom just sits there thinking. After a while of this...
Tom: (sounding very introspective) You know, Jerry. We're sitting eight stories up on a small narrow beam. The slightest movement could send either one of us off plunging to our deaths. And then what? Do we go to an afterlife or do we just rot in the ground. Just sittinŐ up here makes you think how truly meaningless our lives really are. I mean we're nothing but little collective bodies of DNA that live and die. And unless you start some great revolution, youŐre forgotten. What do you think about that, Jerry?
Jerry: (after a pause) You know, I really like these Lunchables.
