Why do they say, don't put all your eggs in one basket?

Question

I was thinking of going to the farmers market to buy a half a dozen fresh eggs tomorrow, and was planning to transport them home in a singular basket ! What will happen to me ??? Should I buy 6 baskets just in case? Cheers :-)

Answer 1

It because they mate when your not looking and when you get home you have 3,250,000 eggs and an arm thats approx 12.4 inches longer than the other

this is why not only do i put all my eggs in one basket,

but i also carry them home with my p***s!

Answer 2

Cause they could break each other :) instead, balance them on spoons. That should keep them safe.

Answer 3

Well, the idea is not to keep all your valuables in one place...cause if it is lost or stolen then you'll have nothing left. You are well adviced to keep valuables in various safe places!  So put all your eggs in one basket but take good care not to drop the basket!!!.

Answer 4

Don't take it literally. It means not to invest all you have into one person, idea or situation.

Answer 5

it means give yourself more than one option if you can

Answer 6

Maybe it means like if u drop it they'll all break? I think you'll be ok though!

Edit: Hahahaha! i was so wrong.
