I once won a pie eating contest and it was one of those no hands pie eating contests, so I definitely know that pie in the face feeling. It was about 50 years ago when I was in college and it would have been fine, but the paper put a picture of me covered with pie on their front page, and unfortunately someone thought it would be a good idea to show the picture to my mother, and I then received a telephone call asking me if that is why I was going to college. I had thought I would be safe as the school I went to was over 200 miles away from home, but she found out anyway. I wish it had been Bavarian Cream but if I recall correctly, it was a lemon cream pie.
Thoughts and prayers with Roy, and hope that he will soon be back on his feet and able to travel home safely.
