Hiram was having much success with his egg farm, raising extra-large and jumbo eggs right from the ground. But one morning, he woke to find his crop all cracked, with half-cooked egg white and runny yolks all over the soil.
So he replanted the field, the eggs started growing, and all was fine until, again, one morning, all was cooked and cracked.
So he replanted a third time, and he told his oldest son, “I think I know what’s going on. Tonight we’ll hide in the fields and see for ourselves.”
Hiram and Hiram Jr. did just that: hidden behind some bushes, they camped out overnight and watched the egg field. Just after midnight, three men stole into the field and, with giant canisters, began pouring boiling water all over the eggs.
“Just as I suspected,” Hiram whispered to his son. “Poachers.”

65. MONASTERY (airs April 18, 2020 on Dave’s Gone By)
It’s been a brutal summer, and all the monks in the local monastery are sweltering—until one early morning when they’re awakened by construction noise coming from the chapel.
The Abbot runs in to see a dozen workmen, a giant machine, and the Mayor with a grin on his face. “Father,” he says, “your neighbors have been so concerned during this heatwave, they pitched in to buy you a central air-conditioner.”
The Abbot stares at the machine, but instead of showing gratitude, he starts imitating the mayor’s movements—every word and gesture.
“What’s the meaning of this?” shouts the Mayor. He goes to grab the Abbot, but the head monk bolts out of the monastery and kneels on the front lawn, where he starts licking the grass—still wet from condensation.
The Mayor turns to the deputy and says, “What on earth is going on?”
The deputy replies, “It’s like that old expression: Monk A.C., Monk Eat Dew.”

64.
Tone Loc, after his wealthy rap career in the `90s, was looking to expand his brand. Not realizing the digital age was around the corner, he decided to partner with Kodak on a range of photographic equipment.
He gets an appointment with Kodak’s Chairman of the Board, who at the time was dating Carole King. She’s there for the meeting and listens to Tone Loc outline his plans for branding equipment like enlargers, magnifiers, and photo paper.
The Chairman of the Board is on board—until the rapper starts talking about darkroom chemicals.
“Absolute not!” says the chair. “People associate rap with drugs, so we’re not putting the Tone Loc name on chemicals.”
“That’s crazy,” says the rapper. “I smoke a little pot, but no hard drugs. And I can sell tons of Kodak merch.”
“He’s right,” Carole King whispers in the chairman’s ear. “He’s got fans all over the world.”
“I dunno,” says the chairman. “Tone Loc enlargers, fine. Tone Loc developing tanks, great. But Tone Loc Silver Bromide Gelatin?”
“Absolutely!” Carole King sings out. “Come on, Baby. Do Tone Loc Emulsion!”
