I am out of the office today; yesterday's bleurgh caught up with me during the night and I spent a large portion of it curled up awake and shivering despite being under some industrial strength quilts.

Right now I don't feel so bad, but tonight will be the test, I guess, when I am lying down again, tubes in desperate need of a rebore.

For some reason, with ellefurtle muttering about eating eggs, I find myself pondering the sad thought that we shall never know what Humpty Dumpty would have hatched out as. And the nursery rhyme predates DNA tests, so that avenue is closed to us.

It's Harry Hill's fault for putting that in my unsuspecting brain.

Be careful, that sounds not disimilar to the way my lurgey started out. You feel a bit better, think it's all over and then WHAM! it clubs you over the head harder than before and you have to crawl back into your hole. Don't go back until you're sure it's gone.

*mutters about eggs more*

I wonder what tomorrow's strange obsession will be?

But surely Humpty Dumpty would never have hatched out as he was just a big funny-shaped bloke a la "I am the Walrus". Mind you, cracking when he fell makes that theory questionable. You've given me much to ponder.

I'm not sure that's the canonical version.....

I suppose not, although Humpty's ability to sit on a wall and put on those nice bow tie and tights outfits always led me to believe that there was more to him than egginess and that perhaps he was just a bald man with no neck and a pot belly. On the other hand, maybe I'm over-thinking things again. After all he was from a more innocent time when the entire army was able to come out and waste valuable man-hours on rebuilding a giant egg.

If he was that large a fellow, Humpty probably provided some spiffing omelettes and scrambled eggs for all the king's men.
