"Sad little omlettes." Oh no!

Burlington Free Press.com | Local/Vermont: "This year's afternoon contest turned intense."

Competition? The annual egg tossing contest at the Twincraft Soaps factory in Winooski, VT. Of course.
Gene Steinfeld, master of ceremonies and plant manager, wearing a smashing outfit of white coveralls, a chicken hat and a belt made of rubber chickens, kept changing the distance the eggs would be tossed: 40 feet, 60 feet, back down to 45, but the two teams continued to make expert catches.

In the end ("breaking news"!) the team of Chad Fitzpatrick and Pete White, mechanics, prevailed against a couple of suits from sales.
"We work good as a team," Fitzpatrick said.
