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.

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

Is that just a yolk ?

This would be a good plot for a hardboiled detective story.

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.

Those are some careful thieves. I would worry about breakage.

I cannot tell if this is true. It's believable, but you're the one sharing it. ? Cheers.

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

Mike said...

I would like to see how they plan to sell them.

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.

Don't encourage him!

Mike said...

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

Mike said...

Sell half, throw half.

Mike said...

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

Mike said...

Yello!

Wait 5 days and follow the smell.

Mike said...

I think their taste buds will rebel after a few days.

Or smellage after 5 days.
