"A little piece of the pie isn't an unreasonable thing to ask."

While I would agree that tossing about a few cliches does nothing to resolve the present situation, I do make note of the fact that we do not have any pie at the present time. We may have some flour, and a bit of salt, but it is not edible in it's present state. Without some time and the opportunity to do a bit of cooking, there ain't nobody going to be eating anything.

Best regards
