“My friend thinks he’s smart. He said onions are the only food that make you cry. So I threw a coconut at his face” is a joke that has been printed on several posters. The joke has been cited in print since at least 2010.
“Whoever said the onion is the only vegetable that makes ya cry has never wiped with a corn cob” is a related saying about onions.
