Homsi & Abou El Abed Jokes

Three construction workers in Lebanon would eat thier home prepared lunch together everyday on the scaffold. An Egyptian, a SriLankan, and a Homsi. Everyday, it was the same meal for each of them. The Egyptian would complain "Oh no, Toomieh again! ( falafel). The SriLankan would say "Oh no, fried roaches again". The Homsi "Oh no, Basal Akhdar we Khebez again !". Day in an day out, the same meal , the same complaints, until one day, the Egyptian says " On no, Toomieh again, I can't take it anymore" and he jumps off the scaffold to his death. The SriLankan " Oh no, fried roaches again" and jumps to his death. And similarily, the Homsi goes "Oh no, Basal Akhdar we Kebez again ! I can't take it anymore" and so he jumps off the scaffold to his death. The next day, at a triple funeral, the wives are weeping together. The Egyptian wife says " If I only knew he could not care anymore for toomieh, I could have prepared for him a different meal.". The SriLankan, similarily says "If I only knew, I could have given him fried rats, or other insects". The Homsi's wife says " I do not understand why he killed himself. He used to prepare his own lunch".
