From what I could find, this is when he started questioning his gender.
His name is humpty dumpty. Thats a fantastic egg name.
Thats all the evidence i need.
IIRC the original idea of Humpty Dumpty was a cannon on a wall that fell and broke apart.
If I follow the story, the king invested in the army (horses and men) rather than infrastructure repairs leading to the loss of the cannon.
It should have been Humpty Numpty
Next one should be a king with his men, begging him to come back to work.
It's called Autumn
Stop trying to egg people on. Let a joke be a yoke ..
Humpty living my best life.
