[R-390] This stuff's getting to me ...

[William J. Neill]

So, what's the potential for manufacturing a perfect 12-inch long  
strip of beef jerky of adequate thickness to support a scaled glass  
slide, scoring the strip of beef jerky in the appropriate increments  
and, in so many words, rendering it, so to speak, a slide rule?  An  
edible slide rule at that.
