E-G-G

November 27th, 2005

[...] There were a few more questions and Maggie and Dr. Fleischman talked about a few more things. Then Mike asked, “Ed, would you voluntarily submit to an E-E-G?” and I thought he had made a mistake, I said, “Don’t you mean an E-G-G?” They laughed, and I laughed, although I wondered what it would mean to voluntarily submit to an egg. Then I realized they wanted to test my reflexes by throwing an egg at me, and I said, sure, and asked them when they wanted to do it. Mike said as soon as he could lease one from Anchorage. I said, “Lease it? It’s going to get all smashed. Can’t you just buy it?”
