egg sandwich

Pervasive topic on my mind right now? An egg sandwich.

Here's the deal -- if time is tight on the way to work in the morning, I'll grab something from the cafeteria at work. I typically snag whatever food I can stick in my face the fastest, and this morning there were these egg sandwiches they'vd just whipped up and stuck in the warmer. Now I don't know if any of you have noticed this phenomenon, but if you put ANYTHING under a warming light, in return it'll radiate this wonderfully appetizing glow. Even a cardboard box under a warming light will send the same warm, glowing message: "EAT ME!".

Needless to say, I was seduced by an egg sandwich under the warming light. Snag one, pay for it, go back to my writing room, peel back the plastic wrap (hmmm... doesn't look nearly as tempting as it did under the warming light...), and bite in-

Some joker put a fully loaded, sunny-side up egg in this sandwich, and it spews hot day-glo yellow goo out about a foot in every direction. Seriously.

There's egg goo all down the length of my right arm from shoulder to wrist, all over the front of my sweatshirt, and down the right side of my pants. I didn't know a chicken could pack so much goo into one shell! There are even stray drops on my computer keyboard. It probably managed to hit a guitar or two, and the guy next door in the process.

Grrr...
