[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 9590561, member: 7026594"] My classic gaming buddies delivery story involves a group of us gathered at a friend's apartment, and most of us decided we wanted Chinese, but my brother wanted pizza and ordered Domino's. Back in the day in New England, it used to be common for some reason for old school Chinese places to give you dinner rolls and butter. Both dine-in and delivery. And we had a macho young dude game we liked to play sometimes with the rolls, where you'd tear one in half, hollow out a space in the middle, fill that up with Chinese hot mustard (the good stuff in the little plastic containers; not the trash packet mustard), pinch it shut, then stuff the whole thing in your mouth and chew and eat it. The fun was dealing with the spice without choking or coughing, and getting the whole thing down without needing to spit any out. So we order Chinese, it shows up, and my brother is hungry as we all set to on our Chinese, so he grabs a roll and some mustard and has that as a snack while he's waiting for the pizza. His face goes a bit red but he handles it, and we all nod in acknowledgement of his macho and return our attention to the food. Moments later the bell rings for the door, and his pizza shows up. He goes and gets it and pays the guy, and comes back saying "The pizza guy looked at me [U][I]really weird[/I][/U]." We all look up and we see my brother has blood smeared ALL up the side of his face, like he murdered someone! We laugh and tell him to look at himself in the bathroom mirror. He yells/laughs in surprise and shock, and gets cleaned up. So what happened was that my brother was prone to nosebleeds. And after the rest of us looked away, in dealing with the pain of the massive dose of mustard spice in his sinuses, two things happened- 1) his nose started to bleed without him realizing it, and 2) he pressed the heel of his hand against his cheek/sinus next to his nose, to dull the pain. So he rubbed that blood all up the side of his face without realizing it, with the doorbell ringing before he even had a chance to look at his hand. [/QUOTE]
