Too true,

A colleague got egged while walking his 7 year old kid across the causeway after seeing the Christmas pageant. Some yobs in a car hit him, with such force that it knoocked him down and out cold for a few seconds in front of his kid, while his wife also got whacked by an egg to her back.

It was lucky for him he had glasses on as the lens took most of the impact.

It was still enough to give him a black eye, and some of the shell in his eye, which left him in agony for days.

The doctors said that if he had not been wearing glasses he would have lost the eye.
