Australia Doctor Finds Dead Gecko in Chicken Egg (never mind, you guys in OZ don’t have GEICO as an insurance company, do you?)

Man, are his vehicle insurance rates going up, or what?
A doctor in Australia this week was shocked to find a gecko inside an egg he had just cracked open as he was cooking his dinner, the Telegraph reported.
Peter Beaumont broke open the egg and found a tiny dead gecko. “I was cracking the eggs into a pan when I noticed one of them was all cloudy. I looked at the shell and saw a tiny gecko,” he said in the story.
The lizard was embedded between the interior of the shell and the egg’s membrane, said Beaumont, who believes it climbed into the chicken, possibly to eat an embryo, and got trapped and died in the area where the eggs form inside the chicken.
Beaumont, 60, who is president of the Australian Medical Association in the Northern Territory, believes his discovery could be the first such instance in the world.

Mrs Gecko : Where have you been.
Mr. Gecko: Out.
Mrs. Gecko: Well?!?
Mr. Gecko: Well what?
Mrs. Gecko: Well, did you get me anything?
Mr. Gecko: (sheepish) I tried…
Mrs. Gecko: My mother warned me that you were a layabout! Do you think I want to start a family with someone who can’t provide for me?
Mr. Gecko: I tried to get you some chicken! I killed a chicken but it was too big to drag back.
Mrs. Gecko: (rolls eyes) mmmm hmmm…
Mr. Gecko: I did! Then i tried climbing up a chicken’s cloaca to get you a farm fresh egg… It was horrible, just horrible, I could barely breathe! I thought I was going to die!
Mrs. Gecko: Need I remind you that a female Gecko can reproduce without needing a male? (arms crossed and lips, if geckos have lips, pursed)
Mr. Gecko: Baby, come on, how about I get us some KFC with gravy & some biscuits and after you calm down I’ll get in touch with you about that cloaca plan.
Mrs. Gecko: You get me a chicken today or you’re never touching me again!

In light of the new dangers from geckos : semper ubi sub ubi

The gecko? Maybe somebody got sick of seein’ him on those stupid GEICO commercials, so they rubbed him out and stuck the body someplace where they hoped he wouldn’t be found. Up a chicken’s a$$ was a bad move, though; first place any competent investigator would look.

oops, sorry about the dupe comments - it didn’t seem to be working so I kept trying

Late news: in a press release this morning, the Australian Federal Police admitted it had been investigating chicken’s backsides as part of its witness relocation programme. ..
