How to use egg in a sentence?

1. Karen Darke:

   It's just such a surreal experience. You're in this thing that looks like an egg... going down a highway in the middle of nowhere, and it only takes a tiny bit of wind to blow it slightly off course.

2. Paula Shrewsbury:

3. Valerie Lyzhyn:

4. George Eliot:

   Comprehensive talkers are apt to be tiresome when we are not athirst for information; but, to be quite fair, we must admit that superior reticence is a good deal due to lack of matter. Speech is often barren, but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled nest-egg; and, when it takes to cackling, will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.

5. Jamie Grifo:
