They lied to me: Humpty Dumpty wasn't an egg!

I was just wondering why some countries have brown eggs, and others white, since ours have just gone mainly white.
And woe, what do I come across in my search for answers?

Humpty Dumpty wasn't an egg!

They lied to me since kindergarten.

All those nights lying awake, thinking of how that poor egg fell off a wall, and nobody could put him back together.
All for nothing?

Just goes to show, don't believe anything they tell you.

Wow. A cannon?!

Didn't see that coming!

When I opened the fridge, I first thought the white eggs were the ghosts of our usual brown eggs.

First I was afraid, I was petrified.

I thought we had a poultrygeist and needed an egg-corcism.

I could swear they turned their heads 360 degrees, but they still stare at you with that spooky, pasty eggspression.

At least now I know why they don't have Easter in winter in the North.
How would they find the eggs in the snow?

It's like naked Scandinavian people rolling in the snow after a sauna.
Perfectly camouflaged for their environment.

Quite tasty, just keep chipping my teeth thinking they're already de-shelled.

crap... not fair!

Ok that's news to me always thought he was an egg, now its really​ based on a cannon... Thanks for sharing.

That comes down to the subspecies of chicken.

Some lay white.

Some lay brown.

Nice.

Always good to learn.

#ed up a great story / nursery rhyme but hey whatever it takes to get noticed.

(Joking) Great thread.

I've always thought chicken eggs were white from all the chemicals we give them to lay more eggs. Free range chicken has brown eggs.


A cannon? Learn something new every day

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Four-score Men and Four-score more,
Could not make Humpty Dumpty where he was before

Humpty Dumpty lay in a beck.
With all his sinews around his neck;
Forty Doctors and forty wrights
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty to rights!

Just makes me wonder.

If they lie about stuff like this, what other lies have they told you?

Maybe Mary never had a little lamb?

Perhaps Jack and Jill never went up the hill?

Oh common, don't destroy my world.

The Owl and the Pussycat?
OK, I always figured that one was bit of a stretch.

Always a good sign when they want you on a team.
Not because you're the strongest.
But we're gonna laugh our way through this hell.

I always laugh at people when they say...

Damn, I never knew he wasn't an egg..

Nowhere does it ever say he was..nowhere...

He's a real nowhere egg ...

Do they like that egg pan-fried?
It isn't really specified.

Scrambled perhaps on a toast?
Or congealing in the oven roast?

Boiled just with a slice of bread,
I like to chop it's yellow head.

This egg my friend, is made for you.
In the army they just serve it blue,
This egg waits for nobody...
