HAHAHAHAHA!!!
You people crack me up!
My wife is going to wet herself when she reads these!!!
Thanks for sharing. I can relate to the pepper spray stories, even though it is illegal in Australia except for the cops.
One of my great pleausres in life is growing, cooking with and eating chillies...hot chillies! Last year, my habanero (some of the hottest in the world, the make tabassco sauce feel like milk) plants were pretty much finished. So, I pulled them out of the garden and decided to leave them on the lawn and I would just mow over them and put the clippings in teh compost bin.
Problem - there were stiil quite a few old habaneros on the plants.
Problem - I mowed over them
Problem - the mower spewed out all this habanero chilli laden dust
Problem - there was a slight breeze
Problem - I couldn't breathe or see and my face felt like it was on fire
Problem - my wife and 2 little kids (both under 3 at the time) were inside
Problem - the breeze blew into the house
Problem - screaming wife, screaming kids
Moral of the story... In my wife's words...DON'T YOU EVER MOW OVER CHILLIES AGAIN!

LOL Mike! I'll never forget the time I first chopped up jalapenos. Onions make me cry. I chopped them after the jalapenos. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) Whoops!

Very funny story about the pepper spray, Xena! I also had a pepper spray, but for different reasons: I'm affraid of dogs. My story isn't so funny but confirms that dogs feel much more subtile things than we think. Every morning, when I went to the job, a dog was barking at me and was quite aggressive, I wouldn't have passed there if I hadn't some bag in my hand to use it as a shield. Then I bought an anti-dog spray and since then, when I met that dog he didn't attack me any more. Probably my confident look kept him away. That convinced me that dogs (and maybe other animals) feel the fear for sure. That cured me for my dogs fear (well, not completely especially when I see a "killer" dog like rottweiler, pittbull and so on). And one more thing: after using a pepper spray, NEVER get your hand to the eye before washing it! I did it ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Adrian

You guys are all hilarious! Our local police got some stun guns, and as part of their training, they had to 'test' them on each other. Our friend who told us the story decided he'd rather take a bullet!
However, I do think that this is one instance where men and women do agree. A man will test the thing on himself (a man); a woman would test it on a man.
And I still have, after 5 years, a container full of ground habaneros, marked in RED and w/lots of exclamation marks; OPEN WITH CARE!!!! That stuff goes a loooong way. And I have learned, after the year of the bumper jalapeno crop, to wear gloves while cutting them up before pickling. My hands felt like they were burning off! For two days! The funny thing was, they looked normal; no redness, no blisters, no swelling, no charred flesh...
