"Do you think eggs have pointy ends to make their exits a bit less painful?"
Don't they come out a little squishy and harden when the shell hits the air? Maybe the pointy end is the last bit out?

You mean as the hole is closing again it makes the pointy end? |

Yes. Sort of snipping it off.

"It must be quite a relief when the egg has finished being laid."
From the Interweb Wiki:
In an average laying hen, the process of shell formation takes around 20 hours. Pigmentation is added to the shell by papillae lining the oviduct, coloring it any of a variety of colors and patterns depending on species. Since eggs are usually laid blunt end first, that end is subjected to most pressure during its passage and consequently shows the most color. |
