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.
