NO: Programmer Humour (Spanish translation)

[Kim Sumner]

Not wanting to wear everyone out on this somewhat doomed thread ;^(

Question: 
How do Spanish people manage to purchase eggs?
With such ambiguity I'd imagine the average Spanish delicatessen would
occasionally resemble something like a Three Stooges movie - lot's of
offended deli staff followed by huge egg fight.

(Boy has this one gone pear-shaped...)
