6383 - The new gold


Thieves poached about 100,000 eggs from the back of a distribution trailer, authorities in Pennsylvania said.

The theft occurred around 8:40 p.m. Saturday at Pete and Gerry’s Organics LLC in Greencastle. The eggs are worth about $40,000.

State police did not have additional details Tuesday and said the incident was under investigation.

    1. When I was in basic training and doing morning mess hall duty, my job was to crack 400 dozen eggs into a mega gallon pot. The pot was about full when I lost my grip on the egg shell and in it went. I tried to retrieve it but no luck. Yuck on my arm and yuck to the guys that had egg shells in their eggs.

  3. I had heard about Black Market Eggs recently and locally, but, it is a bit Amusing, No? In some places they're up to $13 a Dozen and some Grocers locally are completely out. Might be time for Raising a few Chickens.

    1. It's been so long since I've bought eggs I couldn't tell you what the regular price even is!

  4. Will the thieves sell them, or let them go bad and throw them at people they don't like?

    1. Did you hear about the yolk that would greet other yolks by saying, Yello!

  7. That's hysterical. And not just any eggs but organic. I've not been able to purchase organic since first of the year. The thieves have good taste.

    1. I know. This could be on Saturday jokes. But it's from a real news story. So if you believe the news these days...
