A few years?! She said she bought them a week ago. I'm sure Janet is
saavy enough to check the best buy date on a carton of eggs. I'd say it
was a fluke or just very interesting timing.

white (gently!) before either set further. Maybe she *could* have put
Humpty Dumpty back together again. We'll never know.
