Can you counter a curse with an egg in your pants?


Probably works as well as any other superstition.


Having marital problems? Have you tried putting egg in your underpants?

A woman in Cyprus is on trial for sorcery after pledging to shake off a curse apparently plaguing a man’s relationship with his wife and mother-in-law.

The suggested remedy consisted of an egg, a spoon, a nail, some pubic hairs and underpants, local media reported Friday.

“She cracked the egg into my underpants,” the 37-year-old man told a district court in the capital Nicosia.

The elderly woman wanted some 5,000 Cyprus pounds ($12,195) for her efforts, the man said, so he went to police.

So, the dispute isn’t over the superstition; but - the price.
