My friend from Canada calls that second day "The Dance of the Flaming Arseholes." There are hot sauce makers in New Orleans that make book on who can cause the most pain the longest.

My granddaddy used to grow these teensy little red things in coffee cans in the yard. He'd put them in his cafe, in those little pitchers of vinegar common on Southern cafe tables, and just smile. The shipyard regulars couldn't wait until some newbie doused his food in it and wept like a baby. Good times!
