Proud Holder of a Kentucky Egg Liscence

March 18, 2005, 9:38 am

One of the eye-opening experiences of being a small business person is finding all the licenses you need - sales tax license, witholding license, unemployment, occupancy, food handling, alcohol, tobacco, prescription drug sales, etc etc.  This gets multiplied for us since we are in 10 states.

This week I got my new favorite:  My Kentucky Retail License to Handle Eggs.

I was afraid that there might be some special training that went with this - something like walking a hundred yards with an egg on a spoon without dropping it - but fortunately all they wanted was our name and $5.  Note that there is a $100 a day fine for selling eggs without a liscence in KY, so beware all you black market egg purveyers.

    WHO IS ACTUALLY NOT COMPETENT TO HANDLE EGGS

    I thought that California was reigning champ of maintaining useless government programs by having, among many others, a Board of Barbering and Cosmotology. Turns out that Kentucky is giving us a run for the money.

    I read somewhere on the internet, lost the site, that you had to sell 60 Dozen eggs with in 1 week in order to have to have a liscence. E-mail me back, I will do more research on this.
