Egg On Your Face
Recently I met a former student of mine whom I taught about 45 years ago.He told me when I was teaching him in the late 1960's he was part of a group that kept a hen each so they could have a fresh egg every now and then. He did not have a hen himself and decided to steal one from my father's chicken coup. He took it home and told his parents that a friend had given it to him. Unfortunately the hen didn't lay any eggs while those belonging to his friends were laying on a frequent basis. He decided to steal one egg from the grocery store and placed it under the hen. Next morning he retrieved the egg and proudly brought it into his mother to cook for his breakfast. His mother took the egg and began to chuckle. She said son this is the first time that I know of any hen that laid an egg with it's own stamp. She then showed him the NF on the egg, which indicated a product of Newfoundland. it was only then that he had to explain the whole caper!
