This really happened.

True story:(don't you love it when a post starts off like that? You just know something outrageous is coming)

Yesterday, I was at a conference about immigration reform. It was a wonderful conference, about a very worthy issue. It was meaningful and informative. I loved it.

But something happened that will permanently color my memory of the day.

I was sitting at a table with some rather prominent leaders in our community.

During the talk (a great talk!), one my neighbors reached down to his note-taking piece of paper

ripped off a litte piece of the corner

wadded it up

and ate it.

At first I was bemused. Spitball? In this crowd?

But I never saw the reappearance of the piece of paper, not as a slobbery projectile or in any other form.

Mystery?

Indeed.
