Eggs might be the most pun-friendly food in the fridge. "Egg" slides into any word starting with "ex" (egg-cellent, egg-stra, egg-citing), "yolk" sounds like "joke," "shell" sounds like "she'll," "crack" means both a break and a joke, and "scrambled," "poached," "fried" and "hard-boiled" all describe people's moods.
