  • Because it shouldn’t be on your face
  • It should be underneath a chicken
  • It’s a ridiculously obscure metaphor
  • There are a thousand better metaphors you could use
  • Who decided that it was a good metaphor?
  • If you say use the metaphor in conversation with someone who is unfamiliar with the phrase then you will look like a lunatic
  • Why an egg?
  • Why not a foetus?
  • How did it get there?
  • Is there bacon, too?
  • Saying it is probably more humiliating than what caused you to say it in the first place
  • You should be more worried about getting the egg off your face than talking about it being there
  • Is it possible to remove the egg?
  • If not, could you pay someone to remove it?
  • Are you more or less attractive to the opposite sex if you have egg on your face?
  • Could you function in normal society if it proved impossible to remove the egg?
  • Can anyone get egg on their face, or just particularly unfortunate people?
  • What form is the egg in? An uncooked egg, retaining its shell and defying gravity (unless you are lying down), is even more weird than a fried or raw egg
  • Is it possible to eat the egg?
  • If not, what would happen if you did?
  • Would it be possible to use the egg as an ingredient to make other things?
  • What is more embarrassing than having egg on your face?
