Eggs
People often (ie never) say to me 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket!' They think they are offering me wise advice, but I rebut it thus: 'Why,' I say, 'would I go to the trouble of opening the egg carton, taking out the eggs, putting them all into their own individual basket and then try and carry twelve baskets home? That's just nutty! I'm far more liable to drop them that way. Also, I have a specially designed egg-carrying basket with special padding so that even if I hurl the basket into the air and let it crash to the ground the eggs will not be shattered. Why should some of the eggs be put in lesser baskets when I have access to this space age design? And all of this assumes that I buy eggs, which I don't. So, thank you for your advice, Mr Busybody-Pseudo-Ovum-Transportation-Expert, I don't think.' And then I sneer contemptuously, having destroyed their advice with my detailed and lucid counter-argument, and invite them for an omelette.
