Eggs


Eggs are meant for boiling.
Eggs are meant for beating.
Eggs are meant for scrambling.
Eggs are meant for frying.
Eggs are meant for gargling.
Eggs are meant for binding.
Eggs are meant for poaching.
Eggs are meant for mixing.
Eggs are meant for devilling.
Eggs are meant for balancing.
Eggs are meant for cholesterolizing.

But eggs were not meant for throwing.
I'd like to keep my coat and car clean,
thank you very much.

Are you trying to say that you got one thrown at you? My brother told me last night that two guys in Lakewood had that too. Cute poem though..I'm sorry to admit I even laughed.

Oof. Doesn't sound too good...

I'd love a pair of those cute chicken feet for my eggs, though. My mother would really get a laugh out of those!

Nice pic.

Now you've gotten me started on one of my pet muses:

Who ever said that eggs were for all those things? I find it absolutely fascinating that some time in the past, a human being had the idea to cook an egg. (Her husband probably said, "Now dear, eggs are for hatching.") I just can't get over how incredibly versatile the egg is. I'll stop here and let your imagination do the rest. ;-)

Oh, you forgot one:
Eggs are for juggling.

At least, my students think so.
(we did baking today...)

:-O

I got egged once, and it was on Shabbos. My Rosh yeshiva said i couldn't wash it out, just rinse my head under the tap for a few minutes, and hope for the best...
My coat was ruined.

And how many things can you do with egg shells?

halfshared - No, I was not egged this year. Thank the good Lord.
:)

BM - forgot about that one. you can mentally add "Eggs are meant for hatching"
:P

David - if you'd like, i can come throw eggs at you.
just for the fun and adventure of it.

Eggs are for painting. And spinning. Apparently spinning an egg on its tip is an art. Give it a try!

Illegal alien:
Eggshells are not for dropping in the eggs.

Yup
I got 1 years ago on the streets of boropark, can you imagine (outrage) the chutzpah,
but the coat went to the cleaners and was just fine

My ego took a bit longer....
