Okay, I don’t know much about Thai bar girls/dancers/what have you. I do know a little about eggs, though. After you’ve gotten someone to try unsuccessfully to break an egg with one hand, just do something that will put a tiny little crack anywhere in the shell–smack it on a pointy surface out of view, jab a tack into it, whatever. It will break easily and at will, and no one in the audience will be able to see the microscopic crack you put in it. And I bet Thai bar girls have all sorts of ways to divert your attention while they fracture the egg. ---

I attended a traveling show while it was in town. It was put on exclusive by former (and current, one guesses) members of the sex worker industry. One such woman on stage had been told by her doctor at a young age (eight or nine?) to exercise the muscles used in micturation and voiding urine. I believe this was because the young girl had problems leaking. She was given an exercise regimen of clenching those muscles a certain number of times daily, several times a day. Unfortunately, so her story went, the doctor never told her to _stop_ doing the exercises, and years later she began to realize what she could use them for. I could never verify if her story was correct. I’m tossing this out there just in case any valiant Doper women wish to… er… conduct some research on behalf of the SDMB. 😃 ---

Wait, it’s supposed to be impossible to break an egg with one hand? I just tried it: I put an egg in my hand and clenched my fist. It gave a surprising amount of resistance, but then BANG! It exploded and got raw egg all over my kitchen sink, wall, and cabinet. I don’t think I want to try it a second time, and I neglected to get it on camera, but I do have a witness. Does it have to be a certain kind of egg? ---

It gave a surprising amount of resistance, but then BANG! It’s not supposed to be impossible, just very dificult. When you clench your fist around an egg, the shape distributes the pressure. This means that most people cannot break an egg this way. However, if you forget to take of rings, have strong enough hands, or fall into various other categories then you can do it. Years ago when I first read this fun science fact, the whole family tried it. My bubby, could break an egg in one hand. Her opinion was that her hand no longer applied even pressure due to arthritis and other ailments. ---

I think I should point out that it’s not as if observers of the egg “trick” are being suckered in any particular way. It isn’t presented as a feat of strength so much as a sort of feat of… a sort of agility I suppose. A precision of muscle tone. No one said it was a magic show. Altered egg or not it’s not any less interesting to observe. I’m trying to picture the ever-cynical, ever-guarded Doper watching the letter trick and the liquid tricks and the blowgun dart and ping pong stuff, then seeing the egg routine and saying “The egg is clearly altered! What a rip-off - I’m outta here!!!” ---

> [@samclem](#): > > **Sam**. You and I thought along the same vein when I first read this thread. But they’re talking about taking an egg in your hand and squeezing it _all over_ in your hand, not with your fingers putting pressure on just one point. Think taking your entire hand and squeezing the entire egg with it, so that the pressure is distributed all over. Does that make sense? I had to Google for this. My kids told me I couldn’t crush an egg that way, so we did an experiment. The kids thought it was pretty dang funny when the contents of the eggs shot out to the left and the right all over the walls, microwave, telephone, etc. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-thailand-bar-girls-really-able-to-possibly-offensive-content/328338.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-thailand-bar-girls-really-able-to-possibly-offensive-content/328338.md?page=4)
