I'm relatively new to this list as well. And yes! I had that very
incident occur a bout two months go. I was sitting on the couch watching
t.v with my girlfriend right after making some of my famous thermonuclear
habanero salsa. I washed my hands several times but obviously to no avail.
I kind of dug into my pants to...Uhh... position myself a little more
comfortably (you GUYS know what I'm talking about) About ten seconds later
my face turned bright red and a horrible burning sensation overcame me. I
rushed to the bathroom and tried to wash the burn away...Nope...I was
forced to suffer. My girlfriend saw the look on my face and asked what was
wrong. I told her and she laughed at my mishap. I learned the hard way,
like all good chile-heads.
