it could be one of the best things you can do for the system

I've heard there are a lot of health benefits but I think you have to build up a tolerance, and I haven't. I've watched people eat a whole hot pepper and I just don't know how they do it - I can feel the burn just thinking about it.

I once entered a hot pepper eating contest just to get the free ones and the t shirt
I was told that they love to see old white guys up there
I ate three in the first thirty seconds while the guy next to me ate six
so
I spent the last thirty seconds on my fourth
I will always remember how warm my tummy felt

the winner ate 45 in sixty seconds

Because the memory was burned into you. :)

He must've swallowed them whole.

And sorry for going all social commentary on this but I've never been a big fan of those how many can you eat contests- hotdogs or pies or whatever. Not that you did that with four peppers, but in general it's so disturbing to see people smashing food into their faces (or their faces into food), cramming it down their throats, having it dribble down the front of their shirts. It's not at all on the same level of course as witnessing violence or cruelty, but it's still a little disquieting reminder how close to animal behavior humans can drift.

Then I belched and burned my house down [interject by Totton Linnet] :eek:

it is eleven on the right coast
and
should be able to have a drink while thinking about what to have for lunch
especially if you get up early in the morning
which makes me wonder
if
noon should be the acceptable time to have an adult beverage
shouldn't it be a certain time period after you get up?
like 6 to 7 hours?

Why not having a morning drink ... like a Bloody Mary or Irish Coffee ... or anything that includes orange juice?
