Well, that comment brought up a memory....
A couple of years ago I had an employee who liked to talk big. When we
talked about hot foods he would boast that "there is nothing hot enough for
me!". Well, it happened that we had a bottle of Endorphin Rush in the fridge
at work and so we all went over there. Since we knew this guy was a lot of
talk, we cautioned him about it. He still took about a quarter a teaspoon
(raw). Within a few minutes he was curdled on the floor crying his guts out.
It got real serious so we called 911. In our area, when the ambulance shows
up, so does a deputy sheriff.
This time, the deputy came over 10 minutes after the ambulance crew. When he
came, he started asking questions and I told him about the little
experiment. He wanted to see the bottle so I got it for him. As he examined
it (and after he decided that it was a legal substance), I asked him if he
carried pepper spray. He said "yes" and produced the can. I asked him if he
ever tasted it? He looked at me kind of funny and said that he did not. I
asked him if I could? At that, he turned tail and ran off.
Oh, by the way, the guy who was being treated was fine. He needed to go home
that day and drink some milk. After that though, he would NEVER take me up
on any suggestions of trying something "a bit spicy"....
