Poaching an egg by pouring hot water on it - GIF

[Frank S]

Many years ago, a group of us were sitting in a crowded cafe having breakfast. It was opening weekend for deer season. A game warden walked in, most of us knew him, Not seeing any available empty tables, I invited him to sit with us at our table. The waitress came over and asked, Sir, would you like to try our poached eggs. I said possibly a little too loudly. Lady he is here to prevent illegal poaching. Warden Withers spit hot coffee out his nose as he cracked up laughing.
