At least he was nice about it. A new twist on an old spam.

They must be using ostrich eggs. Irish farmers have recently been
breeding ostriches (I kid you not), and have been told it's a bad
idea economically. Maybe they're selling off the spare parts now.
I wonder which is the one priced at $16 million.
 
During the oil crisis of the 1970s (much more severe in Ireland),
a friend of mine had the idea of using ostriches as a mode of
transport instead of cars. He said the only thing one would
need would be a bucket of sand for the ostrich to stick its
head in while you went into the pub for a quick one.
 
Now, THERE'S an idea!
