Can you use oil to wet the pan and fry the egg?  
I do not see how it can be bad.

If you use oil you can get fat. I say do not fry.

Or you can eat the egg raw and die in a bad way if a bad bug is in it.

Hey vel, how are you? Do you get joy if you eat a raw egg? Why or why not? Can you say how it is?

Yes you can if you try. But you may die. How sad, to die of raw egg.

Cod can be bad too. If you eat it raw, an egg or a nit can be in it, and it can wax big in your gut and eat you all up.

Ah, yes Odd Job! He was a bad guy — a bad guy with a hat, a bad, bad hat. It can cut a man. 007 got him, too, but not in Dr. No.
