Twas Writ: >SYM was (loudly) announcing just how f***ing hot his wings were, when the >hero of the story (me!) said: "Hell, if all you're using is Tabasco, it >can't be all that hot." Oops...SYM was a little in his cups, and I was a >little blunt....it looked like a bar fight was in the works (really, no >kidding, he was *pissed*!)...but, I managed to save it by stating that my >objection to Tabasco was due to the vinegar base. Luckily, he agreed, and >all was "ok". 1. Statement shoulda been: "Tabasco?" <wild, uncontrollable laughter...> 2. Whilst stating the above, you shoulda produced a bottle of <yer choice of habanero hot sauce inserted here...which one should always carry about...it's a TCS rule, mind ya <g>>, and slung a few drops into yer beer, setting the bottle down between you and the SYM, as you quaffed yer brew down happily, marrily (wait...marrially?, no, married..oh hell no, uh, "with glee"...yeah..), and with smile on face. Odds are the SYM woulda taken a taste which probably woulda been worth another hearty laugh. 3. Kept one hand on the beer bottle/mug at all times for obvious reasons. Some people just have no sense of humor... Boy....talk about a flood o' memories.... Sigh =8^( Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles....... Rael
