Swollen to the size of a small child, a prostate jumps in a tram and asks the tram driver "could you sell me a ticket with flamboyant manner and reckless courage?", to which the tram driver replies "mooooo". Afterwards, both crack their asses laughing to the surprise of the nuns riding the tram.

Remind me of that story. I would look it up on a search engine, but I'd rather hear it from you, for two reasons: it's more entertaining, and it's an unproductive waste of your time.
Columbus was asked during a dinner, in a kind of mocking way, what he thought about the people who really discover a water path to India (as you know, such was his aim though he ended reaching the New World).
As his sole response, he requested from the kitchen crew and egg, and told everybody he would gamble "X" amount or something to the one able to make the egg stand. Nobody could. Columbus then cracked it a little bit and made it stand.
I think it's one of the oldest examples of lateral thinking. His intention was to say "everything is easy after I showed the way".
Now, I don't know if it really happened or it's a story. Then again, I could google it, but doing it would not be thinking outside the box 😉

It's interesting how Columbus' Egg has turned into a symbol that has floated somewhat free of its original context. I'm not quite sure how that happened or what that means.

As Columbus, Condorito dares everybody in a dinner to make an egg stand, yet when he's unable to do it himself, he decides to throw eggs at people's face.
Columbus was the first tram driver in the history of humankind, I think.

Unfortunately the service to India was in urgent need of repair and could not be utilised, so Columbus and his crew were delayed at the depot for a considerable length of time.
Speaking of comics -- did you read Love & Rockets?

I mainly read Mad all my childhood. I am a big Aragones fan myself.
That's how I learned my English. No wonder it sucks, lol
