TIDBITS
1) This recipe uses three eggs. In the stateroom scene from the movie Monkey Business the zany Harpo Marx constantly asks for two eggs.
2) Harpo Marx is not related to Karl Marx.
3) Karl Marx was not at all zany, preaching constantly for a worker-run state via violent revolution.
4) The comedic career of Karl Marx never got anywhere. Indeed, it is doubtful he even tried.
