Hahahaha...
In the Summer of “75 right before I went into the Navy with my best friend, we were in my brother’s apartment which was part of my parent’s house.
It was about 9:00 PM, we were watching “Cool Hand Luke” and after seeing the scene where Cool Hand Luke eats the eggs, my buddy says “I could do that!” so we jump up and open the fridge, but there are only a dozen there.
We opened the door to my parent’s house and ran down the wide staircase into the kitchen, and found two dozen there. (That was no surprise to anyone who knew my mom)
We pilfered her entire store of eggs, ran back up the stairs with our egg booty, and proceeded to boil three dozen eggs...I think we probably agreed if he looked like he was going to make it, we would drive and get some, but I don’t recall!)
My buddy starts putting the boiled eggs down, and I thought “Wow, he might do it!” and he burned right through ten and up past fifteen before he began to slow down. He got to twenty, and they were going down hard, but he doggedly kept choking them down.
I think it was around twenty-five before it all went explosively wrong.
LOL. I have not thought about that for years...until tonight. I am going to text him this post...:)
