Some bodegas in the Bronx are now selling eggs in threes as customers struggle with the soaring cost of an entire carton.

      Lol. I guess. I personally used to eat 6 - 8 eggs for breakfast. I now eat only 2 because of the prices, but man, I’m not freaking out about it. People run to the stores and buy it all whenever it is $0.01 cheaper.

          With a diet like that he’d be roughly the size of a barge!

            Barge of muscles? Absolutely. I’m a heavy lifter. Been lifting since I was 15 and now 43. I deadlift 405lbs easily, buddy. Hence the 6 - 8 eggs ;)

              Okay, but how are your expectorating skills? Can anybody spit like you?

                  I feel like you’re missing the reference we’re making.

                  Gaston:

                  When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs

                  Ev’ry morning to help me get large

                  And now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs

                  So I’m roughly the size of a barge
