Esperanto to Egg Whites

Esperanto, for those who don't know, is what is known as a "constructed international auxiliary language". If you're staring at that phrase blankly, it basically means that someone --in this case L.L. Zamenhof (who missed a really good bet by not being a magician with a name like that. I mean, why invent a language when your name is L.L. Zamenhof? Slap a "The Magnificent" in front of that bad boy and start learning to manipulate lightening and levitate, because it is your destiny! Or invent Esperanto. Go ahead, DON'T be all your awesome name allows you to be. Just let L. L. stand for Language Lackey and not Lightening Levitator)-- made up a language that everybody could use to communicate with each other around the world. This is sort of awesome, although it is clearly not as awesome as becoming a magician.
Esperanto is supposed to be politically neutral, so that no one could possibly be offended by it. Nobody wants to be biased towards one language or another. That's decidedly not P.C. If a large political group were to choose one language to negotiate in, all the other languages would feel left out. It would also lead to secret hilarity, because inevitably some perfectly harmless word in the chosen language sounds hysterical to speakers of every other language. Or, worst case scenario, some slightly less than harmless word. For example, the German word for intercourse, "geschlechtsverkehr" sounds to an English speaker a bit like a spoon doused in pudding and lubricant caught in a garbage disposal. Only one (well, possibly two) of those things are even remotely related to the actual meaning of the word, which makes it sort of hard to decode if you speak very little German, and even if you DO happen to speak German but come from an English-speaking background, the mental image alone makes the meaning of the word faintly horrifying. Or at least, it fails to convey anything of the suggestive sensuality it would have, had it not, to your untrained ear, sounded like the dying cries of a goat in a distant swamp.
Point is, language barriers cause problems. Esperanto is meant to bridge these.
You know what else causes problems? Eggs.
You may think that this is a little hyperbolic, since generally the only things eggs cause are baby chickens, and baby chickens are adorable. However, eggs also occasionally carry Salmonella. This is not, as I thought as a child, the name of a fish princess. It is also not at all adorable. Don't get Salmonella.
Eggs also carry egg whites, which are also not adorable, and sort of taste like nothing. I'm pretty sure they're an essential component in breakfast sandwiches though, so they gain a small amount of my approval.

Speaking of German: Kangaroos to Kraftwerk.
