I actually had a buddy do this at a bar. Sparing the details, he got into trouble with some other guy over his wife. My buddy told the guy not to worry, that he was gay and in no way interested in his wife. Somehow that pig flew, and we had a good laugh afterwards. Point being, it was a bar brawl waiting to happen - diffused by some quick thinking. No telling how it might have turned out otherwise.03Lightningrocks wrote:dewayneward wrote: Tell the dude your gay or something...LOL.

Re: attacked with pepper spray?
I think you can build a tolerance to capsaicin oil which I believe is the "active" ingredient in pepper spray. Capsaicin oil content is proportional to the burn you feel and has been quantified, so to speak, using the scoville scale, from 0 to 16 million. Pepper Spray falls between 2 and 5 million, and unless you blast yourself regularly, I don't think you would ever get used to it like you get used to habaneros.PUCKER wrote:So, for those who've been sprayed by pepper spray, has anyone *not* been affected/adversely affected by it? I've heard/read about some folks not being affected by it. I wonder if one's immunity/love of all things spicy/hot has any bearing on this?
Reason I ask, I'm a pepperhead kind of guy, habaneros are one of my favorite things - one day while sauteeing a nice side dish of habaneros and onions my wife was quite overcome by the fumes, as in she had to immediately get out of the house! The aroma/fumes were perfume to me however. Took a full day to air out the house. Whenever I handle habaneros I don't wear gloves, I prefer to "suffer" for my art, so-to-speak. Usually my hands have a slight burn for several days, it's pretty interesting, to say the least.
I've had fresh jalapeno juice in the eye before, it wasn't too pleasant, but that was before my adventure into "pepperdom."
BTW - I'm not at ALL volunteering to be pepper-sprayed, just wondered if there were folks who have been sprayed and then got the urge to eat spicy food!
