[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1039394, member: 4159"] Boy do I understand this one Capt. We were driving through NM on the way to Phoenix about 20 years ago. We stopped in Albuquerque for dinner and a cup of chili came with my dinner. The waiter told me they had two kinds, a mild red and a spicier green. I do not go for real spicy foods so, being a little tired I laughed and said, "Oh sure I am going to have the green." Followed almost immediately by the comment, "I will take the red." For ambiance sake the lighting was low and I couldn't see my chili very clearly. Couple that with being red green color blind I did not realize that he had brought me the green chili. I suffered bite after bite of that chili wondering how in the heck they could make a green chili that was even hotter than the red that I thought I was eating. My wife could see the sweat rolling down my face during dinner. She asked me why I kept eating it. I said if this was really the red and was mild I didn't want them to think I was a wimpy northern boy. I took on in the chops for IL and the Mid West. [/QUOTE]
