Habanera Chili Anyone

I went grocery shopping recently while not being altogether sure that course of action
was a wise one. You see, the previous evening I had prepared and consumed a massive
quantity of my patented "You're definitely going to shit yourself" chili. Tasty stuff, albeit hot
to the point of being painful, which comes with a "written guarantee" from me that if you eat
it, the next day both of your ass cheeks WILL fall off!

Here's the thing.... I had awakened that morning, and even after two cups of coffee (and all of you know what I mean) nothing happened. No "Watson's Movement #2". Despite habanera peppers swimming their way through my intestinal tract, I appeared to be unable to create the usual morning symphony referred to by my next-door neighbors as "thunder and lightning."

Knowing that a time of reckoning had to come, yet not sure of just when?, I bravely set off for
the market, a local Wal-Mart grocery store that I often haunt in search of tasty tidbits.

Upon entering the store, at first all seemed normal. I selected a cart and began pushing it about dropping items in for purchase. It wasn't until I was at the opposite end of the store from the restrooms that the pain hit me. (Oh, don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about.) I'm referring to that "Uh oh, Gotta go!" pain that always seems to hit us at the wrong time. The thing is, this pain was different?

The habaneras in the chili from the night before, were staging a revolt. In a mad rush for freedom they bullied their way through the small intestines, forcing their way into the large intestines, and before I could take one step in the direction of the restrooms which would bring sweet relief, it happened. "The peppers fired a warning shot!"

There I stood, alone in the spice and baking aisle, suddenly enveloped in a noxious cloud the likes of which has never before been recorded. I was afraid to move for fear that more of this vile odor might escape me? Slowly, oh so slowly, the pressure seemed to leave the lower part of my body and I began to move up the aisle and out of it, just as an elderly woman turned into it.

I don't know what made me do it, but I stopped to see what her reaction would be to the malodorous effluvium that refused to dissipate, as she walked into it unsuspecting. Have you ever been torn in two different directions emotionally? Here's what I mean, and I'm sure some of you at least will be able to relate.

I could've warned that poor woman, but didn't. I simply watched as she walked into an invisible, and apparently indestructible, wall of odor so terrible that all she could do before gathering her senses and running, was to stand there blinking and waving her arms about her head as though trying to ward off angry bees. This, of course, made me feel terrible, but then made me laugh. "Mistake !"

Here's the thing.... When you laugh, it's hard to keep things "clamped down", (if you know what I mean). With each new guffaw an explosive issue burst forth from my nether region. Some were so loud and echoing that I was later told a few folks in other aisles had ducked, fearing that someone was robbing the store and firing off a shotgun.

Suddenly things were no longer funny. "IT" was coming, and I raced off through the store towards the restrooms, laying down a cloud the whole way, praying that I'd make it before the grand mal ass-plosion took place.

Luck was on my side. Just in the nick of time I got to the john. Began the inevitable "Oh my God", floating above the toilet seat because my ass is burning SO BAD, purging. One poor fellow walked in while I was in the middle of what is the true meaning of " Shock and Awe." He made a
gagging sound and disgustedly said, "Son-of-a-bitch !", then quickly left.

Once finished, I left the restroom and reacquired my partially filled cart, intending to carry on with my shopping. All of a sudden, a store employee approached me and said, "Sir, you might want to step outside for a few minutes. It appears some prankster set off a stink bomb in the store. The manager is going to run the vent fans on high for a minute or two which ought to take care of the problem?"

That of course set me off again! Causing residual gases to escape me. The employee took one sniff, jumped back pulling his shirt up to cover his nose and pointing at me in an accusing manner shouted, "IT'S YOU!", then ran off returning moments later with the manager. I was
unceremoniously escorted from the premises and asked none too kindly not to return.

Home again, without having shopped. I realized that there was nothing to eat but leftover chili? So... I consumed two more bowls. The next day I went to shop at Safeway market. I can't say anymore about that because we are in court over the whole matter! Bastards claim they're going to have to repaint the store.

Well I think it's time I gave out a little advice.

Years ago I worked with a guy who could only cook one thing ... chili. It was the hottest stuff I had ever put in my mouth and that's from a guy who grew up eating the hottest Indian food without breaking sweat. You couldn't even serve that stuff in a metal mess can because it would melt it. Now here's the advice. He always took a handful of peanuts, threw them in his mouthy and swallowed them whole before eating his own chili. Next day, when he was sitting on the throne, when the peanuts came out he knew to grab on to something and hold on tight because the the chili was the next thing in line. He called it his peanut "marker".

Like most advice, it's free and worth every penny.
