Re: Pickled Eggs.
There have been many tales throughout history of the magical properties of pickled eggs......are you sitting comfortably? Then I will begin...
In the land of Mordor seven Eggs were boiled, these Eggs of Power were given to Man
It was said that they held the secrets of the universe, gave untold power and wealth to anyone possessing such an egg and cured male pattern baldness and erectile dysfunction. These eggs were highly prized.
The Eggbert Egg was first discovered in ancient Sumeria by a a young vllage boy Roberto who in fact was searching Dead Sea Scrolls in the local caves and only finding goats. The Egg was taken from Roberto who got a clip around the ear for ignoring the goats and bringing home an egg after all you can get a dozen free range eggs from Asda for next to nothing.
The remaining eggs were scattered across the world one was hidden in the great pyramid of Cheops another one was believed to be in Lenin’s Tomb in Moscow in his inside jacket pocket, yet another was in a wooden crate in hanger 13 in Area 51 next to a flying saucer. A fourth egg was residing in pub in England and the whereabouts of the other 3 are still unknown stories about a jeweller called Faberge and the remaing eggs are at this moment unsubstantiated
A sighting of The Eggbert Egg One was first reported in in Italy where a after long investigation and study it was decided to pickle it for posterity and place it on display in the Vatican, under very carefully controlled conditions in the presence of the greatest scientists of the age.
The shell itself was carefully removed in order to retain the ancient Coptic, Aramaic and Sumarian writings upon it, and especilly an ancient Celtic pictogram that said, ‘Roberto woz ‘ere’
The procedure for removing the shell itself involved the rolling of the egg on the inside of the thigh of an Italian virgin and crushing it gently. This apparently brought tears to the eyes of the male beholders and once again demonstrating the awesome powers of The Egg.
And so it came to pass that the EggbertEgg was presented to King Rehab the First who was a day trip to Rome for the Games (King Rehab was competing in the Half Litre Snatch) and won, and carried to England....... where it was left in a local hostelry, that Egg, the Eggbert Egg, the first of the 7 Eggs of Power is still out there ...somewhere.......honest.
