Not even in the interest of Science? Oh well, didn't think you'd go for it!

Me too. But sometimes I amaze the uninitiated.

We have a neighborhood restaurant run by a Thai family that does some pretty
nice stuff. Decent heat, but nothing over the top. Got to know the
waitresses a few years back when we were growing our own. A couple times we
brought in some various chiles, Choc Habs, Aji Amarillos, Aji Limons, stuff
like that. Gave them some, and asked the chef to add some to our food.
Anyway, one day in the parking lot one of the owners, the Chef's wife, comes
up to me and asks in a very hurt tone "Our food isn't hot enough for you?" I
assured her it was, and we just wanted to share the bounty with people that
appreciated chiles.
As for ROF, well, I know what it is, and only get it when I've exceeded some
sort of limit in quantity or quality. Long time ago. ;-)
