The first time I saw this joke written up it was about a chilly cook off in Austin. That was years and years ago...

To some of you who don’t know, cayenne pepper is beneficial, even a health food of sorts. Chilies and peppers are not going to kill you.

If you don’t eat a lot of spicy foods you may think you are going to die, but it will pass.

You also build up a tolerance for it in your body so someone may not think that their food is very hot and the next guy may think he is being poisoned.

For those who have some tolerance though the peppers have a very flavor enhancing effect and you taste many subtleties in the sauce.

Also I find the warming and even a tiny bit of the sweating effect very pleasant.

I isn’t that those who like hot food are being macho, it is just that you are a wuss if you can’t take it.

Well, cover me in sprinkles and call me a wuss.
