Amazing how those like to get mixed up! Consider Eir und Uhr. Or even
Eier und eilig...Which reminds me a visit to Germany when my husband
and I were late for a dinner appointment. I hastily uttered to the cab
driver that my husband and I were in eggs. Fortunately, I don't think
he heard me, and I regained my composure enough to say, "Schnell."
