I was either still dreaming or I had entered an alternate reality where I was a flippin' insane person. I doubted I had entered an alternate reality and a quick slap to my own face proved I wasn't still dreaming. -Sage Hannigan, Contingency ↗

I told you that my idea was great." "They usually are." "Holy [crap]. Did you just admit that?" "Maybe I did." "Uh-huh, you've always known my ideas hit a ten." "On a scale of 1 to 100, yes." "Ha.Ha. Guess what.Got another idea." "Does it involve eggs?" "It doesn't involve eggs." "It doesn't?" "But it does involve something equally tasty. And it involves you, me, a bed, and very little, if any, clothing. ↗

There are at least two sides to every issue, and I like my issues sunny side up. I also like bacon and toast on the side. Are you eating what I’m saying?

The radio signal was scrambled, and so were my eggs. I got tired of eating commercial breaks for breakfast.

More laying hens are slaughtered in the United States than cattle or pigs. Commercial laying hens are not bred for their flesh, but when their economic utility is over the still-young birds are trucked to the slaughterhouse and turned into meat products. In the process they are treated even more brutally than meat-type chickens because of their low market value. Their bones are very fragile from lack of exercise and from calcium depletion for heavy egg production, causing fragments to stick to the flesh during processing. The starvation practice known as forced molting results in beaded ribs that break easily at the slaughterhouse. Removal of food for several days before the hens are loaded onto the truck weakens their bones even more. Currently, the U.S. egg industry and the American Veterinary Medical Association oppose humane slaughter legislation for laying hens on the basis that their low economic value does not justify the cost of 'humane slaughter' technology. The industry created the inhumane conditions that are invoked to rationalize further unaccountability and cruelty. ↗
