Kind of scares me that we flippantly laugh this one of because it was just an egg! If the same thing happened to a policeman , nurse or Ambulance Officer!, what would be the outcome!
My Rhetorical question is if I snuck into a Q and A and starting throwing eggs at panelists like Van Badham, YAM and the white rat Tony Jones, would I get public recognition and be a social hero. I would be prepared to take that chance! Why not if I get a slap on the wrists!
