So nearly every morning I take a hard boiled egg to work.
We buy an 18 pack and boil them all at once so that as I leave for work, I can just throw one in my bag each day.
It is a great way to curb my appetite in between breakfast and lunch.
So Duke was in charge of boiling the last batch of eggs. This morning I reached in, grabbed an egg and threw it in my bag. When I got to work and took it out to peel I noticed something strange. My egg looked dingy and it had a burn mark on one side.
To all that is holy... how do I survive this day to day? (medication)
So I called the Duke up on the phone and inquired as to WHAT THE NUMBNUTS HAPPENED TO MY EGG!
Here's the official transcript:
Me: "Hey, uh... something go wrong with the eggs yesterday?"
Duke: "What eggs?"
seriously, what eggs... he asked what eggs?
Me "Yeah, dumbass. My reproductive EGGS! What eggs do you think?"
Duke "Oh... heh.. yeah, the ones I boiled up after work? Well, I put them on to boil and forgot about them. I took a nap and when I woke up the were smoking and on fire. I guess the water had evaporated... heh..."
Me "Wow. That's awesome! Did you really not think it was stupid to put them back in the container as if we would actually use them with their insides like rubber?"
Duke "Cool! I wonder if they bounce?"
Me "click"
sigh.... I found the pot he used. he put it back in the cupboard with the black circles and scorched sides still visible. I guess he figures you can't get anymore sterile than extreme heat and flame.
The funny thing is, when I got home from work last night, I wondered why all of the windows were fogged up through out the house.
It's not always necessary to reach out and touch the ones you love when the middle finger will do... -Chief

Okay so I hope you have been thinking about What You Meant to Say so you can play along this week! I have a post scheduled so I expect everyone to unload all their demons this Wednesday! Come link up!
40 crazy comments. I'm still waiting for yours!:
"what eggs" - gotta love it!! I like how he figured you'd just never happen to notice the, oh BURN MARKS!! :D
OMG, you are so lucky your house didn't burn down. He fell asleep? LOL
You must be heavily medicated. lmao!
clearly eggs were never on his mind if he didn't even remember them the day after. duh
scary it got that far, we just had a horrific accident with a dad falling asleep with food on the stove.
O.M.G. And he just put 'em in the fridge. I love it!! I'd make sure to put one in HIS lunch every day this week!
ha! i needed a good laugh!
Ha! That's def what would happen if my boyfriend tried to boil ANYTHING.
That sounds all too familiar. Although, I think I would divorce my husband if he decided he was going to eat a hard boiled egg every day. He's gassy enough, already! ;)
Oh my. That was absolutely hilarious. Poor eggs.
Yuck!!
One time my husband boiled water for tea and then fell asleep. That pot cooked until all of the water was gone and the pot started to melt! When he woke up and took it off the stove it dripped liquid metal on the floor..burning a hole in the tile and in his foot when he stepped on it. That is a mistake he won't make twice (he has the scar to remind him!)
I love how he already "forgot" about them...at least he fessed up to it and didn't do the "I have no idea what you are talking about..." thing the whole time!
Wow, I didn't know you could burn hard boiled eggs. I learn something new everyday on blogs.
My boyfriend burned a whole pot of rice because he didn't add enough water. WTF is wrong with men?
See clean up wouldn't have been near as easy had they done the explosion thing that would have been next on that list. Too funny.
my husband does the same crap
like tot screwing up something in the kitchen but neglecting to CLEAN UP the screw up, so the screw up is easily detectable
I've been WAITING for you to post this one!!!! Just as funny the second time around. :)
LOL!!!
Hubby does stupid stuff like this. This gave me a good blog memory!
Wow! I think he may be able to go on America's Worst Chef. Thanks for a great laugh on a rainy Monday
Nice! Yesterday my hubs made bacon in the middle of the night and then somehow got it all over the kitchen floor. when i asked him about it, he played dumb too - like what bacon? I'm like - "you're the only one that MADE bacon you jack-ass! don't play dumb with me!" i swear, it's like dealing with my six year old.
Lol! that is too funny that he just put them back in.. and hid the evidence obviously, or tried too :)
I was starting to think I needed some major meds, then I found your blog and have laughed so hard the last couple of days I think Im cured! Thank ya!
a riot..
what a munchdick!

Gosh, I needed that laugh today! I don't think I'd stick an egg in his lunch... he'd be having them breakfast, lunch AND dinner for the week! And you're right... he wasn't thinking about hiding evidence by putting the pan in the cabinet. He probably really considered it clean! too funny!
I can't decide whether to be horrified by his terrible egg boiling/burning/bailing thing, or totally impressed that he tried to make them in the first place!
Lol what a total idiot!
So funny. One of those situations which just gets funnier as time goes by.
Really, they're not so bad. They are blackened eggs. Sort of Cajun style.
Hahaha! I've done that before.
Funny - I have been guilty of burning an egg or two - myself... and yes I have been known to be a dumbass!!!!
Love to you.

I did that when I was very, VERY young and they actually make a whistling sound like a tea kettle. I'm surprised that didn't wake him up. He did it on purpose because he doesn't want the job of boiling eggs again. Yeah, make him eat his own @#*% eggs.
We do that too! But only 4 at a time because there's no way I'll eat an egg. They're just for Sparky and she eats 1 egg a day.
You're not alone - my hubby would have done the exact same thing! ;)
Oh my goodness. "What eggs"? LMAO!
Ahhh ...men. If it weren't for sex, we just wouldn't need them.
I can't laugh. I've burned a few pots in my day, and some of them had eggs in them. But I did throw the eggs away. There were at least 5 times I had to throw the pot away!
"what eggs?" These men never cease to amaze me....
Good luck to you!
At least they didn't have a little half formed chickie in them. :P
So funny! Love your 'reproductive eggs' remark.
LMAO!!! that sounds like something my hubby would do!!
Oh. My. Heck.
Medication indeed!!!
Didn't it smell bad when you walked in? Well, I guess not as bad as rotten ones, but nothing is as bad as that!
