and I thought he was a good egg...I guess the yolks on me...talk about being hard boiled...this really cracks me up...although I feel shell shocked...white as a ghost...I don't want to egg you on but...I've scrambled my comment and that doesn't go over easy...I like to be positive you know sunny side up however if you want to make real mayonnaise you're going to have to crack open some eggs...Omelette that last one pass don't want to get cheesy as a French man let me toast you and bid you adieu.
