Beef Jerky

Well, the unthinkable happened this weekend, after being sick fro heat exhaustion for the latter half of the week I was forced to travel to Oklahoma this weekend to celebrate my wife's grandmother's (that looks like too many possessives...but it's not) 98th birthday and pick up a new car. However, on the way back I was unable to stave off my inner carnivore and bought a half pound of Robertson's Beef Jerky...which inevitably crammed itself into every nook and cranny in my teeth. I spent the next six hours attempting to dislodge pieces of jerky from my teeth while continuing to eat jerky...I know, it's a vicious circle. My jaws now hurt from chewing jerky and my gums are bleeding from the 400 feet of floss it took to finally get the meaty bits out of my mouth. I still have some jerky left...
