I chopped habeneros awhile ago and then my eye itched.

1. The only thing worse than that

(at least for guys) is if you go to the bathroom without washing your hands first.

Learned that the hard way one Thanksgiving, and then I had to walk around a house full of people pretending like nothing was very very wrong :wow:

2. I knew a fellow cook who did that.

He had just spent about 10 minutes cutting a bunch of hot peppers before heading off to the bathroom. At first, after he came back he was joking about his newly discovered "problem" but soon enough it got worse. He wound up "excusing" himself and spent about a half an hour in the bathroom trying to fix his problem. I do not know how he accomplished this, but he was quite somber about the whole ordeal when he came back to work. I suspect he never forgot that incident, (and of course his fellow cooks AND the entire wait-staff never let "Mr. Hot Dick" forget about it either!)

3. Ouch! I did that once, after tasting a...

Scotch Bonnet that I shouldn't have tasted.

Mouth in agony, and then I wiped the tears from my eyea...

(at least I didn't have to pee)

6. Rumor has it that...

...folks who harvest quantities of pot need to keep their fingers well away from their eyes too...or so I have heard.

7. Quit Hemping & hawing!...

Say what you really mean! ;)

8. My eyes are clear in regards to that topic.

I have a friend with a ship. Folks in WWII had a saying about ships. They had relevant sayings about little pitchers as well. One can never have too many friends.

9. Milk eases the burn

Learned that after I got pepper sprayed.

That shit sure takes the joy out of sex.:hide:

10. heh, an ex of mine did that, except......

he had a very bad habit of watching TV with his hands down his drawers...you get the pic? Never seen a man run for a shower like that before. What an idiot.

11. Something similar happened to a friend of mine's husband

He ate lunch at work, went to the bathroom afterwards to take a leak, and a few minutes later had a pretty strong burning sensation "down there". He works with hazardous chemicals and would've had to undergo a pretty involved process to neutralize them, complete with stripping down, scrubbing thoroughly, filling out an incident report, the works. He was actually relieved when he realized that juice from the habenero peppers on his sandwich was what had caused the problem.

12. I touched my scrotum after dicing habaneros

...it felt like someone wall holding a Bic lighter down there!
