My baby bro once convinced me to bite into a jalapeno, claiming it wasn’t sharp at all. He even put one in his mouth and ate it to prove it to me. When I stupidly followed suit, I thought I would NEVER be able to talk again; my entire mouth had been burnt away, as far as I was concerned. I later discovered he had swallowed his rather small jalapeno, whole. Thus he avoided the heat of the pepper. I hope he had heartburn later…I am biding my time, but I will get him back for that one. It’s been 40 years, and he will never see me coming…
