of us at a meal. Definition of Eternity: A ham and two people.

Take it out and take it back to where you bought it and ask them if they
can saw that sucker in half -- and you'll STILL have a lifetime supply.
If the supermarket refuses to saw it in half, see if there's a local
meat market that will do it -- even for a couple bucks charge. Oy vey!

And it'll take a zillion years -- and I wouldn't refreeze it.
