A friend sent me this, and I thought of an added one, related to 
chiles, it's at the end.

|Stupid people
|
|    They should have to wear signs that just say, "I'm stupid".
|  That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you?  You
|  wouldn't ask them anything.  It would be like, "Excuse me...
|  oops, never mind.  I didn't see your sign."
|
|    It's like before my wife and I moved from Texas to California,
|  our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in
|  our driveway. My friend comes over and says, "Hey, You
|  moving?"   "Nope.  We just pack our stuff up once or twice a
|  week.  Just to see how many boxes it takes.  Here's your sign."
|
|    A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine,
|  we pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted up this big 'ol stringer
|  of bass and this idiot on the dock goes, "Hey, y'all catch all them
|  fish?"  "Nope. Talked 'em into giving up. Here's your sign."
|
|    I was out in the front yard with my boy the other day and he
|  was playing with his little friend, and he hit his friend and I went
|  up to him and I said "Hey, (smacked the boy), we don't hit."  He
|  looked up at me like, "Here's your sign, dad."
|
|    I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery
|  Channel, there was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. There's
|  only one way to test that..    "Alright Jimmy, you got that shark
|  suit on, it looks good... They want you to jump into this pool of
|  sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you." "Well all
|  right....hold my sign, I don't wanna lose it"
|
|    Last time I was home I was driving around I had a flat tire, I
|  pulled my truck into one of these side-of-the-road gas stations, the
|  attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR he
|  said, "Tire go flat?"   I couldn't resist.  I said, "Nope. No I was
|  driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me.
|  Here's your sign."
|
|    We were trying to sell our car about a year ago, a guy came
|  over to the house, drove the car around for about 45 minutes.
|  We get back to the house, he gets out of the car, reaches
|  down and grabs the exhaust pipe,  then goes, "Darn that's hot!"
|  See..... If he'd been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.

What about those we tell, "Be careful, That sauce is very hot," and 
they say, "Nah, I can eat anything," and then turn a remarkable shade 
of red?  We really need to be able to say, "Here's your sign."  :-)

After judging Hot Sauces at the Pig 'n Pepper, we tried the Hottest
sauces (a different group), and I tried some of "Da Bomb" (or some 
extract based sause).  Well, initially, a tiny amount didn't seem
too hot, so I tried more, and some more.  Then the heat started to 
build ... and I'm told *I* turned a pretty bright red.  Yougurt
didn't help much, or so it seemed.  Next year, I'll bring banannas, and 
I'll get to leave my sign at home.  :-)

YNYACHI: 

You bring Yogurt and/or banannas to a hot-luck or hot sauce tasting.
