I love pies

[johnnyrocketpants]

There I was yesterday, sitting in the waiting room for out-patients at Worthing hospital, when a spotty little fellow walked along and sat in front of me. He extracted a parcel from his bag and unwrapped it. It was half of what would originally have been a very large pie, and started eating it. I've always liked pies -love them- so I could see it, I could smell it, and I wanted it, badly.
The only thing that was stopping me from sinking my teeth into it was the spotty little fellow holding it.
I was just about to smash him over the head with one of my crutches and steal what was left when my name was called.
The question is, who is in the wrong? Him for taking a beautiful pie into hospital, or me for my gluttony?

What an odd post!

I reckon you are in the wrong for gluttony by the way. Especially if you were supposed to be 'nil by mouth'!

I have thought long and hard about this spiritual and social dilemma.

So, applying all my wisdom to this situation, putting the biblical Solomon in your place.
He would have overcome the temptation toward the pie, dismissing it completely from his mind. He would have risen from that seat, walking with deliberation to the other side of the room. Then, he would have taken a run at the speckled pig, leaping mightily to ram both feet into the pie mid-bite, projecting it - with the fellow's teeth - down his stupid throat until he choked in a melding of pie-filling, blood and the filth from the shoes. Then, it would only be right to jump on top of the victim's abdomen until it split out his entrails.

The hunger and avarice would have long since ceased to be, and the feeling of vindication would draw a feeling of peace over the proceedings, underlined only by the occasional convulsions we know as death throes would be twitching from the ugly body underfoot.
Instead of putting on weight you would have burned several calories

All in all, that would have been brilliant!

Was it a Pukka Pie?
