@ratlum: For all the bad things you hear about Wal-Mart, I had to take back a piece of electronics that didn’t work. The guy quickly gave me a refund and even said he was sorry.
I have heard (and/or read) that many of the nursery rhymes were politically inspired. The peoplecould lose their heads if they spoke openly againsttheir rulers, so the rhymes they created were in code.
As I recall, the background is political. A ruler was removed from office by an uprising of the people. Therefore, “all the kings horses and all the kings men” could not restore the person to office.

Don’t try calling all the king’s horses or all the king’s men. they are not good at fixing broken eggs.

Yeah, even in older versions. It’s only because an illustrator portrayed Humptynas an egg that we think so.
