A Proposal

To the gentleman who cooked our food at Humping Pandas Chinese restaurant tonight:

Sir, you, among all of the people who have cooked Sechuan for us over the years, are the only one who knew what “extra spicy” means. Our dinner tonight got me sweating, and left a wonderful burn afterward.
In recognition of your skill, I propose that we merge our families. I offer a blonde, blue-eyed boy in exchange for the hand of your adorable daughter. He shall bring height and strength. She can contribute her beauty and any culinary skills you choose to pass on.
Think of the big; strapping, well-fed grandchildren this pairing would bring us.
I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Daddy J. Bear
Glutton

    LOL, I need to get you out Keos in Honolulu… You’d love it! (as I sit here sweating in my hotel room)…

    This is indeed something that is as rare as hen’s teeth in my area as well. My wife says that she knows it’s hot enough if I start sniffing my nose after every bite.

    My husband has what we call a barometric head, and he has issues after major weather fronts move through our area.

    He’s miserable when that happens.

    Usually, some truly spicy Chinese food will clear out his head.

    Too bad it doesn’t for me; I usually require a hefty, two-week prescription for something along the lines of Erythromycin. (Like now.)
