EGG IN YOUR BEER---Not satisfied with what you have.---"So what do you want,
egg in your beer."---Joseph Bishop (1946). American Speech. "An answer to any
and all complaints." John L. Riordan:American Speech. "According to the
superstition prevailing in certain strata, the eating of eggs lends one sexual
power. The idea is strikingly demonstrated by the bartender's lingo for an
order of beer with an egg in it: 'One sexy!'"

I had a three-day German language and culture class way back in the 70's
while I was stationed in Germany. The instructor was a native German lady
and, naturally, the subject of beer came up during class. She told us
that a glass of beer with a raw egg beaten into it was a traditional
German breakfast, usually associated with bachelors and widowers.
