Bringing the Heat Without Even Trying
Posted on 30th November 2009


Yesterday, I got some Mexican food with my dad. We were both going to get the catfish tacos but then we started to talk about catfish and how to skin them by nailing them to a tree and then I got kind of grossed out and decided to order the shrimp fajitas instead. Along with my fajitas, I got an order of grilled jalapenos, pictured in front of the shrimp above.

I ended up not finishing the fajitas, but I totally ate all the jalapenos. When the waitress came to clear our plates, she asked if I was American. At first I figured she thought I had a strange accent, but as it turned out she was just surprised that I had finished the entire plate of jalapenos. “You are the first white guy I’ve ever seen do that,” she told me.

“Well…I’m not like other white guys,” I replied while giving her a look that suggested I was pretty sure we were dating now. Then she just sort of smiled and got the hell out of there as quickly as possible.

True story.
