Ethyl relates : an egg traordinary story.

I once heard the story of this elderly couple who liked to go out to breakfast at least once a week, and they always chose a restaurant that had a daily special. They noticed this particular restaurant advertised a special with two eggs, biscuits, gravy and sausage or bacon for $3.99. They both decided they would get the special but the wife did not like eggs so she asked the waitress if she could just leave the eggs off her plate.
"Well, in that case I will have to charge you $5.99 since that will be a special order".
"Well, in that case, I will have the eggs", the old lady said.
"And how would you like them", the waitress asked.
"Raw and in the shell", she said.
And then she took her two eggs home and baked a cake.
Sometimes it just takes a little ingenuity, but most obstacles can turn out to our benefit if we just take a little time and figure out a way around our problems.

My daddy used to tell this story, and he swore it was true, of an old man he knew from Tishomingo county who had never eaten in a restaurant before. On a certain trip they stopped at a restaurant for breakfast. The waitress asked him how he liked his eggs.
"Oh, I like them fine", he said.
"No, no sir, I mean how do you like them cooked", she asked.
"Oh, I like them a whole lot better that way", he replied.

I can't help but wonder who the first person was who said 'I think I will eat what comes out of this chicken's rear end'. Such thought perplexing questions confront us every day.
