Question: ( fizzling leftovers )
  Why does food that is hot enough to give breathing problems
  oftentimes cool down, and becomes almost harmless after a day
  in the fridge ?

Joke:
  This is obviously an old one, and should be filed in the catagory
  of urban.folklore, but I just recently became aware of it.

The Chili Cookoff

Recently I was honored to be selected as an Outstanding Famous (?)
Celebrity in my Community, to be a judge at a chili cook-off because no
one else wanted to do it. Also the original person called in sick at the
last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table
asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came. I was assured by
the other two judges that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and
besides they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I
accepted this as being one of those burdens you endure when you're an
Internet writer and therefore known and adored by all.

[I snipped the rest, follow the links for complete story]
