Broken Eggs

After consuming more than 4 dozen eggs after coming to germany, I think the eggs here thought of a perfect prank to play on me to deter me from consuming more of their fellow kinsmen(or kinswomen whatever). So this is the cascade of events that unfolded at exactly 1745 hrs on June 02, 2009.
After waiting in the Queue at the supermarket for 10 minutes (believe me that is a lot of time considering the speeds here), I finally arrived at the counter. There I had difficulty finding change as I had given that man a 20E note for the bill of 10.43E. finally giving up, I told him to give me change. Hurriedly keeping the items in my bag, I kept the box of Eggs on the top of everything and forgot to close my bag. Right then I think one of the Eggs thought of this prank and he caused a whole box (consisting of 10 eggs) to drop on the floor. Moreover, I slipped on the syrup (I am using syrup as I cant seem to find another appropriate word for the liquid which fell all over the floor) and caused all my change of about 10E to drop in them and get covered with with that slime. After I picked up the coins, I reached for my handkerchief to wipe those coins. and then out of nowhere, my cell phone fell in that mess and in that commotion, I dropped the coins again. And at that very moment, my cell phone began to ring. And to top things off, as I reached for my cell phone, its back cover fell off with the Battery causing it to bathe in the glorious egg syrup.

And the most amazing thing is that the people around were completely in their own worlds. Not even the smallest mouse must have been disturbed by this whole drama.

Epilogue: I smelt like eggs till I reached home. I washed my coins with dettol to prevent my wallet from stinking. And the best part: 4 eggs survived this massacre/suicide attack. And they now rest peacefully in my stomach.
Finally I feel like saying something to all the eggs who are out there:
No matter how much you revolt, cry, crash, fall, spill all ur stuff, I will get to you, I will eat you, You will all rest peacefully in the Acidic stomach of mine.
Amen
