Heavenly Food...

I just got off of a 21 day fast..Now I can tell you that every sense in me is ultra sensitive, including my taste buds. Yesterday was my first day to eating what ever I wanted and I was E-X-C-I-T-E-D. I came to work and rode up the elevator with my buddy Jeff from work. A little history on Jeff...he is the practical joker of the universe. From day one he has pulled stuff on me that nobody else except my family would dare do. If any of you know me, you know that I welcome this sort of humor because I myself love to pull practical jokes. When I came back from vacation in December he had found an old bathrrom sign and posted it to my cubicle so that everyone walking by would ask my if they could use the restroom..
Last week I found another sign but this one had a handicap image on it. I found a picture of him, cut it out and placed it on his door to his office.
So, fast forward back to yesterday in the elevator..He's carrying what looks like a calizone..I ask him about it and he says he made this Pasty himself.
So, lunch time rolls around and I was in a meeting through lunch. I come back to my desk to find that Jeff so sweetly had cut me off a piece and left it for me! I should have known better...after I totally devour this thing and it was so good..he emails me the following:

JEFF:You dont know what you ate do you? But you enjoyed it and thats what's important.
ME:I'm gonna enjoy beating you if you don't tell me what it was!
JEFF:That thing below is a Pecary.(Pic included)
ME:That's NOT what I ate....
JEFF:Not all of it anyway........That one was 42lbs and took two bullets as I didnt want it to scamper back down its hole at the back of the dump in Adak.
ME:I wonder if you have ever actually been beat up by a girl....


I still don't know what I ate but the moral of this story is this...when you have fasted for 21 days...ANY FOOD is HEAVENLY FOOD.
