I suppose they do but Ed said he cracked it on the edge of the sink and 
the egg went down the drain.  Might have been better if he cracked it on 
the edge of the bowl he was going to use to scramble it.  I'm pretty 
sure he doesn't scramble eggs in the sink.

Speaking of scrambled eggs, yes, I do crack them on the edge of a 
shallow bowl.  I rarely have issues with shell fragments in the bowl.
