I like my eggs a little chewier
I tend to cook them longer than most people. Dunno why; that's just what I like.
I also usually use a sharper cheese, but someone else had absconded with it so I was stuck with the moz.

I like them even chewier than that
Specifically, I like to let them turn into chickens and then I eat them.
But if one must INSIST on eating them at their nascent stage, then a properly poached egg is a thing of beauty.
Also a fried egg in a bacon and egg sandwich (with HP sauce) is what gets you started, of a morning.

Many years ago I was invited to the home . . .
. . of an uphill/upscale couple to show the lady of the house how to make omelets, since mine were judged distinctly superior to the domestic product.
At the point of filling and folding, the lady said, "No, we like our eggs better done than that".
I replied, "No you don't, because if you did you wouldn't be having me up here to show you how to make omelets".

Hurrah! Fight the good fight!
The overdone egg is the bane of Western civilisation, I tell thee.
I like my scrambled eggs to be scrambled, not rubbery; I like the yolk in my boiled egg to facilitate dipping of soldiers; I like the yolk in my fried egg to run all over the bacon.

dipping of soldiers?
Haven't heard that term before - please tell me that's not a euphemism.
I like my yolk runny to dip my toast into, but do not care for runny whites.

Re: dipping of soldiers?
Buttered toast, sliced into fingers for the dipping into the runny yolk.
Soldiers!

Any history on that?
I somehow doubt your soldiers slather up in butter to take an egg bath.

I would immagine it's because . . .
. . of the way the sticks line up in a row on the plate. Probably from back in the Red Coat days.
Back in the Greek Revival days soldiers would line up in a row and march toward the enemy in a Greek phalanx to be slaughtered as they marched.
This strategy ignored the fact that the "uncivilized" Romans had whipped the phalanx by forcing the fight to broken ground and attacking it with smaller units.

That can't be true
You're suggesting that large, powerful nations have been complaining that their smaller "uncivilized" foes don't fight "fair" for thousands of years. We all know it's only recently that terrierists have started fighting dirty.

Now there's an interesting visual...
Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.
