Egged on

I heard on the radio that today is, "World Egg Day." In the intro to the piece, the announcer told us that, "Everything goes better with an egg."

He followed with a list of examples such as steak and certian fish as well. In my mind, I speculated idly what I considered was greatly improved by the addition of eggs.

The only thing that I could think of was "Politicians."

Funny you should say that. How about an egg for your favourite person?

  Very gratified to read that link but when I say ‘improved with eggs’, I mean lots of them visibly running yellow streams through their hair and down their faces for our futher edification. If these could be regularly schedued nightly in a section of the newscasts entitled, “The Lighter Side of the News,” I believe we would all take a more active interest in politics.

    Unfortunately they seem to lack a sense of humour [if that Burton one is anything to go by]. I say more eggs, water-bombs and rocks to spice things up!

      Ah Grandad, who could resist Dame Edna and Sausage Noonan making a run for it as rotten eggs rained down.
      Surely they’d see the funny side?

        Ah, now here we move onto another plane. Rotten eggs and eggs are two different things. Some politicians deserve eggs, as a reminder of what their role in life is. Other politicians deserve rotten eggs, as a reminder of what complete arseholes they are. Other politicians deserve rocks, or preferably piano wire and lamp posts, to remind them that they have not only been utter failures, but in being such, they have caused untold misery.
        To my mind, anyone who desires power or influence via the ballot box should be immediately barred from the political process. Which basically encompasses all of them.
        Anarchy has a lot going for it, I'm told…

        nisakiman,
        Avoiding the mention of bullets shows great restraint on your part!

Now, now, John. That's very unfair. I don't think that politicians are improved by eggs at all. Being as politicians have the ability to turn to dust everything they have anything to do with, I think it's more accurate to say that good eggs are all too easily ruined by the addition of rotten politicians!

  Jax,
  Indeed! Point taken. Rotten politicians do cause everything to go bad. Are there any other kind of politician though?
