Knowing in hindsight that Bryce Courtenayhad passed away on November 22nd, 2012 (the year of the dragon), I found this passage in chapter 2 of his second last book interesting.
And I think how is this guy still around? I used to eat two eggs every second day, until one day I needed to pee and couldn't.
And believe me that when you can't pee and are dying to pee it is f#ckin' scary.
Then I read that (commercially produced)eggs are loaded with female hormones to get hens to lay more eggs and that can really f#ck with men's prostates.
I cut down massively on my egg consumption, eating eggs only once in a blue moon, and haven't suffered not being able to pee since, when I really need to pee.
Not to say that my flow has ever gone back to how things were in my youth, but at least I can pee when I have to now.
So, eating heaps of eggs is funny, until you really need to pee one day, and you c#nt, because the female hormones they feed to the hens to lay more eggs has f#cked your prostate:-)
