Our story today features the somewhat misguided action of prison inmate, Charles Jay Wolff.

Wolff, who is serving 10 to 20 years for sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl, says he cannot tolerate hard-boiled eggs and is suing the state Dept of Corrections for $10 million. As part of his complaint, he sent a hard-boiled egg, packaged in a manila envelope, to U.S. District Court Judge James Muirhead. With admirable literary taste, the good judge penned the following:

I do not like eggs in the file,
I do not like them in any style.
I will not take them fried or boiled.
I will not take them poached or broiled.
I will not take them soft or scrambled
Despite an argument well-rambled

No fan I am
Of the egg at hand.
Destroy that egg! Today! Today!
Today I say!
Without delay!

Assistant Attorney General Andrew Livernois, who also received an egg in the mail, is far more prosaic, having told Wolff 'if you don't like the eggs, don't eat them.
