🠕. That one.
Ah the age-old adage that's been passed down from generation to generation warning us against taking too big of a risk. "Putting all your eggs in one basket" they say "you're bound to get burned." But is that really the case? Let's take a closer look at this fowl matter.
Imagine for a moment that you have a basket of eggs. Not just any eggs, mind you. These are rare and prized heirloom eggs, with a unique flavor that's been passed down through the generations. You've worked hard to gather them and now they're all in one basket. So, what do you do? Do you spread them out just to be safe? Or do you take a leap of faith and keep them all together?
If you're anything like me, you'll choose the latter. After all, why would you want to spread your wealth out when you can concentrate it all in one place? The key, of course, is to find the right basket. It must be sturdy, reliable, and most importantly, able to handle the weight of all those eggs.
But what happens if that basket should happen to fail? Well, my friends, that's where the real fun begins. Because when you've got all your eggs in one basket, you're forced to think on your feet. You'll scramble, you'll improvise and, if necessary, you'll fry up an omelet of epic proportions.
In short, putting all your eggs in one basket is a bold and daring move. But it's also one that pays off in the end with a rich and satisfying reward that's well worth the risk. So go ahead, take the leap. And remember, when it comes to life's biggest gambles, sometimes it's best to put all your eggs in one basket.

The best that was ever provided,

At the organ with skill and grace."

And, spreading the paper down
On the desk, he dashed in at the top of the screed:
"Great playing by President Brown."
