I don't know.
Did you never see the film Cool Hand Luke?
Oh, I did like 40 years ago.
I saw it every fucking night.
I saw Kool-Hail and Luke every night.
Saved my lunch money.
Me and my friends all went.
And by the time the thing closed, we knew every fucking line.
Because...
George Kennedy was going around going, he could eat anything.
I've seen him eat broken bottles and this and that and this and that.
He'd even eat your full head if you cut it off and all kind of stuff.
Then Newman goes, I can eat 50 eggs.
George Kennedy looks at him like, nobody can eat 50 eggs.
He goes, I can eat 50 eggs.
Then
walks up to Newman, Kennedy does, and he goes, Luke, why didn't you say 30 or 50?
And then another guy chimes in and says, 50 eggs will blow a guy up.
It'll pop him.
The guy that said that line, I can't think of his name right now, but he was from Indiana.
