Summary
This document appears to be a draft of a personal anecdote or speech, dated April 2, 2012, stamped with a House Oversight production number. The narrator (biographical details strongly suggest Alan Dershowitz) recounts a story from their student days where they successfully defended themselves against a mugger using a frozen tongue given to them by their mother in Brooklyn. The text compares the incident to a fictional story where a wife kills her husband with a leg of lamb and then feeds the evidence to the police.

How a frozen tongue saved me
There used to be a deli in New York that named sandwiches after famous people. My sandwich was “tongue on rye,” which I took as flattering, especially since some of my friends had turkey or ham in their named sandwiches. Tongue was not only appropriate because I talk a lot but also because a tongue once helped me beat off a would-be mugger. I was coming from my parent’s house in Brooklyn and heading back to school in New Haven on the New York subway. My mother, as usual, gave me some food to take back to school. It was a solidly frozen, humungous tongue. I didn’t really want to take it, in part because it was so cumbersome to carry in the plastic bag in which my mother had placed it. As I got off the subway and approached the railroad station, a guy grabbed my briefcase and started to kick me. I swung my tongue at his knee, knocked him to the ground, grabbed my briefcase and escaped into the railroad terminal. Had the tongue not been frozen solid, who knows what would have happened?
Several years later, I was reminded of this event while watching an episode of ______, in which a wife kills her husband by hitting him over the head with a frozen leg of lamb. When a policeman comes looking for the weapon, the murderer serves him the leg of lamb, well done, and he eats the evidence. I too ate my weapon. It was delicious.
