 When they brought him into the dining room there was a streak of savory gravy which ran back to the most remote recesses of the kitchen. When you started in to eat him you made an incison about halfway between the midriff and the solar pleXus and then simply ate north, east. south and west, till you came out on the other side with a satisfied smile on your lips and grease up to your eyebrows.
