News from the _it_had_to_happen_department.
A friend of me who runs a lunch serving outfit, borrowed some of Habaneros
sauces. He wanted to use them as a decorative item. My fridge is already
bulging with opened, half empty bottles, So I could do without a few
unopened bottles.
I can't recall the name of the Habanero sauce, other than I was told it
won some prize at the fiery food show when I bought it. It looks rather
nice ( It has no skulls or flames or large print silly warnings ). In
hindsight though we should have anticipated what would happen. Some guest
_took_my_ bottle, and assumed the content would be usable as salad
dressing. Big Mistake. El Grande delivered sharp and decisive judgment upon
the trespasser.
Mind you that I live in Norway, the good news is that our society is not
as fiercely litigious as the U.S. The bad news is that the Norwegian taste
buds are not accustomed to this kind of assault. From the reports I got
the poor guy tried drinking milk, coffee, coke .... anything to make the
burn go away. But to no avail, all the time whilest sweating profusely.
I am not sury that I should feel sorry for the poor fellow. I probably
won't let this happen again. And the guy must have learned a new word now,
"Habanero", which can't be bad...

This sentence is unique in this respect; it can safely
be attributed to my employer, Funcom Oslo AS.
