I ate one of them damn things, going down wasn't so bad, I numbed it with chili.
coming out the next evening, I think I cracked the glass in the head when I screamed.
Do you want a funny hot pepper story? Sure you do!
A friend of mine gave me a sack of Habanero or Scottish Bonnet peppers, hard to tell them apart. anyway, I was at work slicing one up for a sandwich, and the shop-wise guy Mexican waddled up and wanted one. I warned him what it was and he said something like "Gringos are weaklings." So I gave him one. As luck would have it, it was a dud. and he started laughing at me "No hot, you a p***y" So I gave him another one, a pretty orange one! He started chewing and started to say something cute when tears shot out of his eyes and snot exploded out of his nose and he started screaming, he wiped the juice in his eyes and just made it worse and he started screaming. Well the boss runs over, he thought Gilberto had splashed acid in his face! I just held up a pepper. Bob just rolled his eyes and walked away laughing.
Another time I was at a different factory with a different bunch of border bunnies, I asked one for a shot of his Tapatio, and he said "It's too hot for white boys." I reached into my pocket, pulled out a ten spot, and dropped it into my hat. "Ten bucks says I can drink it!" So the whole table kicked in, I gnawed the plastic tip out and poured it into a coffee cup, downed it, held it out, and said, "Give me more, I'm thirsty!" The guy is like "Holy crap! Are you a white Mexican?" I laughed and said, "I'm a North Tennessee hillbilly kid, if you can drink moonshine, you can drink anything!"
I won 80$ for chugging something like a spicy bloody Mary mix LMAO!
