Zimbabwean eggs

Two Zimbabweans are on a bicycle about 15 miles outside of Manchester. One of the bike's tires goes flat and they start hitching a lift back into town.  A friendly trucker stops to see if he can help, and the Zimbabweans ask him for a ride. He tells them he has no room in the trailer as he is carrying 20,000 bowling balls. The Zimbabweans put it to the driver that if they can manage to fit into the back with their bike, will he take them back into town and he agrees.
They manage to squeeze themselves and their bike into the back and the driver shuts the doors and gets on his way. By this time he is really late and so he floors the pedal and sure enough, a blonde cop pulls him over for speeding. The lady officer asks the driver what he is carrying, to which the driver jokingly replies "Zimbabwean eggs." The blonde lady cop obviously doesn't believe this so wants to take a look in the trailer.  She opens the back door and quickly shuts it and locks it. She gets on her radio and calls for immediate back-up from as many officers as possible plus the Swat Team.
The dispatcher asks what emergency she has that require so many officers. "I've got a tractor-trailer stopped with 20,000 Zimbabwean eggs in it. Two have hatched and they've already managed to steal a bicycle!"
