The Mishnah teaches that when one slaughters a Korban Todah with intent to eat the Korban Chutz l'Zemano, the Lechem and the Korban become Pigul. When one slaughters the Korban with intent to eat its accompanying Lachmei Todah Chutz l'Zemano, the Lechem becomes Pigul but not the Korban. The Gemara asks what the Halachah is in a case in which a person slaughters a Todah with intent to eat, Chutz l'Zemano, half of a k'Zayis of the meat and half of a k'Zayis of the Lechem. Will the Lechem become Pigul in such a case? Rav rules that the Lechem becomes Pigul.
The Gemara asks, why should the Lechem become Pigul? It should not become Pigul due to the following Kal va'Chomer: If something that causes Pigul ("Mefagel") does not become prohibited itself as Pigul, then something that attempts to cause Pigul but fails to do so certainly should not become Pigul itself.
