The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume 397

"Have you ever noticed," Smush said one morning as he and Mogey were eating a hearty breakfast of bacon, bacon, sausage, and bacon, "that several hours after eating a big supper, you're hungry again?"

"I don't understand the question," Mogey replied, pouring molasses on his breakfast meats.

"What I mean is, if you eat an especially big meal, you're hungrier than ever a few hours later," Smush explained.

"Yes, of course," Mogey acknowledged. "But I'm still confused. What happens in those hours between the meal and being hungry?"

"Well, you're full," Smush said.

"Full?"

"Yes, full. You're not hungry because your stomach is full."

"You're a wise man, Smush," Mogey replied, shaking his head. "But some mornings you think up ideas more daft than a bankrupt porta-john salesman. A full stomach - ha! Who's ever heard of such a thing?"
