How
Would You Like Your Eggs, Sir?
An
unhatched egg is to me the greatest challenge in life.
E.B.
White (1899-1985), American Essayist
I had a dream last night. I was in a bistro. This
exchange took place.
Waitress: How you like your eggs, Sir?
Me: A single
egg, please. What are my choices?
Waitress: It depends on what cook is in.
Me: Who are the cooks, and what are their
specials?
Waitress: Well, with Rubio, it’s Sunny-Side Up. With Cruz, it’s Ranchero, Dark-Side Up. With Clinton, it’s Once-Over-Lightly. With Sanders,
it’s European-Omelette. And with Donald
Trump, it’s American Scrambled.
Me: Who’s in?
Waitress: At the moment, it looks like Clinton and
Trump.
Me: How long will the Once-Over Lightly and American Scrambled Take?
Waitress: I don’t know. The egg hasn’t hatched yet.
Me: Do you have a Left-Over Obama-Omelette?
Waitress: No, it was not selling, and we had to break too many eggs to make it.
