He and I used to go out for lunch each Friday in search of the hottest green chile sauce to be found. I got a good exposure to the local New Mexican eateries in this process. However he never admitted that any of the sauces were hot at all (and some had a fair kick). Thus for Christmas I gave him a bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce. He opened it up, and tried a dab. That, he admitted was actually hot. The whole lab went out for a Christmas lunch, and the bottle was brought along. Some people tried it out by putting small dabs on their burritos (the lunch place specialized in burritos), and had no big trouble. The visiting scientist from the Ukraine apparently didn't know what he was getting into. He poured the stuff onto his food like the was Catsup. He then gets a nice big forkful from his burrito slathered in Dave's sauce and hoboy, did he get a surprise. "AHH MAROONEY(tech's name) my mouth has exploded!!!!" It was pretty damned funny at the time. The other use we found for the bottle was as a booster. One of the researchers had moved to Mass. and asked if we could send him a bottle of a local hot sauce that he couldn't get back East. Well in an effort to make him think he'd lost his hot food tolerance, we got a bottle of the desired sauce, emptied out some and doctored it with some Dave's. I never heard the results of that one since I left not too much longer after that prank. buzzard</blockquote>
