No yolk: Boston Police report numerous stores along Centre Street in West Roxbury were egged on Oct. 1. So they scrambled at E-5 and asked local supermarkets and convenience stores to refuse to sell eggs to anybody under 18, at least through Halloween. Also:
We ask that parents be attentive to their children. Look out for things such as backpacks being brought out, especially on weekends and on Halloween night. Listen! Keep an ear out for talk about egg wars. If you do overhear your children and you think they might participate in throwing eggs inform them of the consequences of these actions. We consider throwing eggs to be a very serious crime. Anyone caught throwing eggs at businesses, houses, or cars will be charged with willful and malicious destruction of property. Anyone caught throwing eggs at people will be charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

We must put an end to (egg)White Flight!
Is this the beginning of a Huevos Terror?
Meanwhile, the parents say "Backpack or no, omletting them out anyway".

... it dozen mean they can't still have fun. When I was a kid, just getting fried was enough. Of course, times change. Now, you have to shell out serious buck-buck-bucks to have any fun.

Do those eggs come from free range chickens? Were the eggs from hens that were fed growth hormones?
All punning aside...

"Assault with a dangerous weapon"? Eggs are now considered a daaaaaaangerous weapon? How, pray tell, does that work? Do the vandals raise your cholesterol to unhealthy levels?

I once had an egg explode in a microwave. It tore the machine apart, scattering glass and metal shards all through the kitchen. If I wasn't in the bathroom I would have been maimed or killed. Or worse.
So remember, don't put your trash out till 5 PM the day before.

Eggs don't get a-salted until they're a-cooked.

Yeah, if someone is chucking scrambled eggs at you, it probably won't hurt anything aside from your dignity. But someone winding up and flinging a fresh one at 60-70 mph would probably be enough to bust your beak if it hit you square.
Oops. Beak. Never mind the subject line :-)

So I should avoid taping an egg to my shirt when I go to the airport?
Is that more or less than 4oz of liquid or gel?
