Tyke: ``You see Gran'Ma, before you Suck this Egg, or, more properly
        speaking, before you extract the matter contained within this
        shell by suction; you must make an incision at the Apex & a
        Corresponding aperture at the base.''

Grandma: ``Aye, Dear -- how very Clever!! -- They only used to make a
           hole at each end in my time. -- Well, I declare, they are
           making improvements in every thing!!''
