I was eating my lunch, a Subway sandwich with a treat, Miss Vickie's jalapeno chips. Yum.
I felt like I had to sneeze so I instinctively grabbed my napkin to cover my mouth/nose...and somehow got jalapeno dust into both of my eyes. Now that the blindness is over and I have regained sight, I am just sitting here with my eyes tearing like a freak. Like a big red eyed crying freak.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

My BiL was harvesting from a pepper plant a few years ago. I'm not sure if they were Habanero, or something else, but they were very spicy, nevertheless. He picked them and then, before making the long drive to Los Angeles, went to the bathroom. Once he was on the freeway, he started feeling the burn in his pants. He had to get off the freeway, find a bathroom and thoroughly wash himself off.

I actually blistered my cheek by wiping sweat from it while I was preparing chilies.

Not sure which set of cheeks would be worse for that one!

Ewww. I am feeling shrinkage just reading this.
However the thought that milk and dairy products will alleviate the burn does bring a bit of a smile ...
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I'm sure that was attractive.
