Freaks of Nature

Today I cracked an egg into the frying pan for breakfast and was surprised to see two yolks. This is the first time I have ever had an egg with double yolks and I was actually pretty disgusted by this. Identical twin scrambled eggs? It seems unnatural for two yolks to be enclosed in one shell. I didn't realize I thought this was gross until I saw both yellow circles starting to cook in a disproportionately small amount of white. I have friends who are disgusted by dairy products touching their skin. Maybe this is similar?

The lawyer in me wonders if the egg container should contain a warning that if you get an egg with double yolks, that means double cholesterol. Are they exposing themselves to liability?

I quickly scooped one of the yolks directly into the garbage, less because of the cholesterol and more because I couldn't stand to look at it.

"Friends"? As in someone else besides me?

Also, getting egg on my fingers when I'm eating is grounds for immediate washing. Gr. Oss.
