Well, except for the fact that French people usually don't eat eggs at breakfast (I'm an exception, but that because of the influence of my Dutch boyfriend :), and still I usually eat eggs at breafast only on Sundays, when I have plenty of time to make a good breakfast. I also eat cheese at breakfast, which would make any French person yell :) ), I find it a nice joke, though I had to actually pronounce it to understand the pun :) (I also have some taste for bad jokes, BTW). I had never heard it before, for what is worth... Christophe. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr
