2nd onion joke I’ve heard in as many days. “Sometimes I cry when I cut carrots, just to make the onions feel better.”

I cry while cutting the tomatoes and peppers as well, so that the onions don’t think they’re ugly or something. - tmothybarnes
I don’t know who tmothybarnes is other than he’s a guy on a forum my friend frequents and they were talking about making salsa and guacamole. But to be clear, that’s not a reddit username.
