Several months ago I innocently posed a question to my co-workers regarding how many (scrambled) eggs it was appropriate for one person to consume in a single sitting. I honestly didn’t know and was curious. My normal serving size was 5-6 eggs at that point. “Is that too much?” I innocently inquired. They were horrified. I was told that the long-established norm when it came to egg consumption was two at a time. Two. “What, are you training for a power-lifting competition?” was one of the genuinely awesome insults lobbed my way.
Though many days have passed since my sad query, my co-worker Joe still occasionally refers to me as “Luke”, the character Paul Newman plays in the 1967 classic Cool Hand Luke because of the scene where Luke claims he can eat 50 eggs in an hour (spoiler: he does). The criticism didn’t deter me as I had 5 freakin’ eggs today…but I thought about it as I made them, so I guess that’s a step forward in the quest for normalcy. Meanwhile the Luke-ing goes on. Know what, this is the perfect opportunity to share my favorite egg joke ever. Warning: It’s a Dad joke. Ready?
What did the bartender say to the egg and piece of toast when they walked into the bar together?
“We don’t serve breakfast here”
