Jade was many things, but never shy and retiring.
She died last night, but deserves to live forever for this :
“I’m just being used as an escape-goat”

Some more humour from Jade, though not necessarily egg-corns :
She thought that a ferret was a bird
an abscess a green French drink
Pistachio painted the Mona Lisa
Sherlock Holmes invented the flush lavatory
East Anglia (“East Angular” in Jade-speak) was abroad
and that Rio de Janeiro was “a bloke, innit?”
Priceless.
