The Curate's Egg
23 Answers
I had a meeting today with my boss. Our last communication had been by email early last month, when, in response to her enquiry about my health I replied it was like the curate's egg. When I met her today she asked me 'what is the curate's egg? is it scrambled?'
I am pleased to report that I responded with true humility, even to the Punch line ;o)
