Okay, we'll give you 1 million eggs for the state of Alaska.

If you really wanted to screw them over, you would infect the blankets with measles vaccine.

Wait until they wrap the blanket around themselves and then jump out from behind the door and shout "haha! You're now immune to measles! Sucker!"

Denmark should deliver the extra eggs, personally and ballistically, right to the White House door.

This is how Trump will spin his failed conquest of Greenland: it was really just a ploy to extort eggs from Denmark.

These egg puns are atrocious. I'll be glad when they're ova.

They specifically asked for how many dozens could be delivered.

Not tonnes, thousands or pallets. No, they want any quantity of dozens of eggs.

It's like they took every stupid political meme in today's discourse, put them into a bag, shook it up, and pulled something out at random.

Is this flooding the zone? Am I being baited?

You could, but people would tell you that's fucking stupid and a terrible story.

Yes, realism is a really important part of fiction.

This kinda sounds so stupid I had to fact check it.

  1. Obviously they are just asking around everywhere if any country has even capacity of surplus eggs. So the department of agriculture send out letters to several countries. Also Sweden and Netherlands seem to be among them. Probably many more.
  2. Also I asked myself why they would even ask such small countries. It turns out at least Netherlands and Denmark are #4 and 8 of Egg producers in EU. #7 is Ukraine interestingly, maybe this will be part of the ceasefire negotiations xD Anyway here the full list of top egg producers in EU, interestingly Norway is #1: https://essfeed.com/cracking-open-the-european-egg-industry-unveiling-the-top-producers/

Pretty sure that article is wrong about Mowi/Norway, at least in the sense of egg species. Mowi is a farmed fish company and although they likely produce loads of eggs I don't think salmon roe is what the US needs the most right now
