Hot Peppers

[Green_Manelishi]

:lol: :lol:

I have a similar story. While in Mexico years ago, my husband at the time and myself had been out snorkeling on a reef, for the better part of a day. Finally, we packed up our stuff and headed out to get some food. It was nearly dinner time and I hadn't eaten a thing all day.

We get to the restaurant and my first stop is the toilet. I join him at the table where he offers me a chip that is loaded with this green stuff. He says to eat it. I did. I still don't know what it was but holy smokes was I in pain. I downed his beer (I don't drink beer) downed my drink and ran to the bar begging for more to drink.

At the time I didn't know that bread was way better than a drink and wanted to kill the barman for offering bread rather than another drink. After a few minutes of behaving like a maniac the pain went away.

He sat smugly at the table with a rather large grin on his face. :14:

Is that why he is your ex husband?

Missdirected,

Nice boat in your gallery, can I be your friend?

Maybe I should have named this thread "When you really shouldn't laugh but can't help yourself"!

On the lighter side of peppers...

I was at a friends party once. All the "tough" guys there decided to try an assortment of hot peppers the host had provided. Many a man came to tears as the peppers went higher and higher on the Scoville scale.

There was one man inparticular whom I will never forget. After sampling many of the peppers and consuming many a beer he excused himself to the restroom. Upon his return he seemed rather uncomfortable. Come to find out he hadn't cleaned his hands. After a couple of minutes he was curled up on the kitchen floor, in a fetal position, writhing in agony. It was one of the most hysterical things I have ever seen

Just a little laugh for you guys, now please continue with your regularly scheduled programming.




By the way, great topic NetDoc.

I can vouch that handling peppers can be hazardous to your manhood.

As part of my management training in the hospitality industry I had to do a stint in a hotel kitchen. I was given a number of menial tasks to do starting with peeling three 50 pound bags of potatoes, followed by a 50 pounder of onions. Seeing the tears streaming down my face when I finished the onions, the sous chef said he liked my work ethic and decided to give me a break.

He brought a couple of #10 cans of jalapeños and asked me to slice them up, then he was going to show me how to make chili. While I was dutifully slicing away, he brought in a couple or pitchers of beer. This was back in the day when drinking beer in a hotel kitchen was commonplace (it was even in union contracts in a number of cities and rated it's own expense line in financial reports - Chef's Beer). Being a young lad just over legal age I thought this was just great and knew this was truly my calling in life.

Others stopped by, we continued to chat and the beer continued to flow as I worked my way through the cans of peppers. After more than a few beers I needed to do what normally comes after drinking beer and asked to be excused. I went to the kitchen's restroom so I could relieve myself.

To this day I still can hear the hysterical laughter from behind me as the door flew open and the entire kitchen staff was watching me cursing and screaming and I tried to stand on my toes to position my burning private parts under the running faucet in the sink. :icon10:

Thus was my official initiation into the culinary world.

OMG. :rofl2: :rofl2: that's brilliant! I almost wet myself reading that

My tough guy son just read it and simply said, "I'd cry".

Hhehehehe, I'll never tell. It's a possibility. :14:

An Indian restaurant near me rates their food 1 to 5. They won't let a westerner order 5. I find 3 hot. However, I see nothing wrong with a pile of jalapenos (sp?) on my nachos. I can't fathom #5.

I think #5 makes Hooter's 3 mile Island wings taste like Ice Cream. :rofl:

There seems to be a missing post from cdiver2. Where did it go? Given the next post, #2, and the partial quote, I'm wondering if it was the instructions for preparing for a mammogram. If it wasn't, then here is what my wife's doctor provided:

Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there is no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceding the exam and doing the following practice exercises, you will be totally prepared for the test, and best of all, you can do these simple practice exercises right in your home.

EXERCISE 1: Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast between the door and the main box. Have one of your strongest friends slam the door shut as hard as possible and lean on the door for good measure. Hold that position for five seconds. Repeat again in case the first time wasn't effective enough.

EXERCISE 2: Visit your garage at 3 AM when the temperature of the cement floor is just perfect. Take off all your clothes and lie comfortably on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of the car. Ask a friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled. Turn over and repeat for the other breast.

EXERCISE 3: Freeze two metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts. Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set an appointment with the stranger to meet next year and do it again.

You are now properly prepared.

The hottest is called a Fal, I bet that is not even on their menu. If you haven't heard of it it is truly extreme!!!! Their 5 is probably a Vindaloo. Even in places where Indian food is popular one does not see Fal on the menu - it is evil, evil, evil
