Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg.

"Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg."

Or was this his PETA award speech in advocacy for free-range.

Or maybe just an outcome of trying to cook the two things. The brick omelets came out a bit dry.
