4 hours agoI only just realized the pun inside “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
Most people complain that it’s a pointless idiom because if you possess a cake, you are likely able to eat it.
Having cake is another way of saying eating cake. It’s saying you can’t eat your cake and then eat your cake again.
Why Egypt specifically? I’ve heard the phrase bumfuck nowhere before.
