Voila! The detectives looked at the eggs. Overdone, it seemed, but by whom!? The list of suspects was long and hard, like a very normal plank of wood, probably a two by four.

The water still simmered.

"Turn that blasted thing off," Hollered McGee, the more svelte of the two detectives.

Carbine went ahead and flipped it off. "Looks like lunch was over, and this was just a crime of passion."

But who could hate eggs so much? The pastry chef was known to have had frustrating run-ins with runny yolks, but this wasn't her style. She was butter than that.

Ooof.

The sous chef was more likely to sue a victim than offer it death by hot bath...

Could it be? The picky eater just happened to stroll by at that moment. She popped her head in, but then-

Klompf!

The pigeon! There was a pigeon roosting in the windowsill. It had a devious look in its one good eye. The other eye wandered. An empty nest. This was no breakfast murder, this was a cold blooded killing by a cold blooded bird. Redundancy aside, birds of a feather sometimes murder together. The raven's murder, that is.

I wish I could grasp egg-sactly all of your puns, but I'm a little bit a spring chicken in English

Tanks! And... there were probably fewer puns than you imagine, because sometimes I deliver nonsense lines as if they were puns, but they're just nonsense.

She’s butter than that 😂🦄

I have seen movies that proof that birds are nothing but murderers!! Let's shoot them all!

That's what'll start the bird-pocalypse, though! Oh, the hubris!

HA!!!!!! I love your story!!!! :D thank you for the laugh and smile!!

Like an atomic clock with an invitation to a salacious dinner party at John Newt's house, you're as punctual as they get

John Newt... I don't know who that is.

No… not a real person. I should have gone with a time person but there you go. Like an alphabetically ordered list of the gospels with the middle one removed, I missed my mark.

HA

I used to hate eggs. Really I did. But you know what? I realized one day that eggs are my friend. Now whenever I'm feeling lonely I just pile of a bunch of eggs into my car and we go out to the bar. Sure they drink too much and they tend to get rowdy....... but hey they're eggs after all.

It's good to have friends...
