The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg.

I'm probably going to attract trolls with heavy cognitive dissonance by this post, who didn't think through its meaning, but whatever:
Nostriches: Potato, become an egg!
Potato: How? I'm a potato.
Nostriches: You need the boiling water!
Potato: I told you, I'm a potato, it doesn't harden me, it softens me!
Nostriches: Well, become an egg then!
(return to second line and repeat, or go off into how being a potato is a moral failing etc.)
(The mandatory: Not all nostriches of course. But probably 3/4 of them.)
