Funny Chili Taster Story

Funny Chili* Taster Story from Will and GuyFunny Chili Taster Story
Inexperienced Chili* Taster visits Texas
Notes from an Inexperienced Chili Tester called Dan, who was visiting Mexico from Texas. This is how Dan reported his experience:
'Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon, when the call came. The other two judges (Native Mexicans) assured me that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting. So I accepted.'
Here are the scorecards for the 8 Chili's that were submitted for judging by Jose, Carlos, Fred, Bubba, Linda, Vera, Ana and Lester.
Chili # 1 Mike's Mild ChiliChili tasting competition
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavour. Very mild.
FRANK: Crikey, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Mexicans are crazy. Chili taster story continues....
Chili # 2 Carlos's Afterburner Chili
JUDGE ONE: Smokey, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of the reach of children I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich manoeuvre. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. Chili taster story continues...
Chili # 3 Fred's Famous Burn Down The Barn Chili
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. Wey the beer is good stuff. Chili taster story continues...

Chili # 4 Bubba's Black Magic
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it, is it possible to burnout taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb. lady is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear waste I'm eating. Is chili an aphrodisiac?

Chili # 5 Linda's Legal Lip RemoverChilli Danger Story
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very Impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
FRANK: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage, Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really cheeses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Crazy rednecks!
Chili # 6 Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulphuric flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my mouth with a snow cone! Chili taster story continues...

Chili # 7 Ana's Screaming Sensation ChiliInexperienced Chili Taster Story
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge Number 3, He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing; it's too painful. Stuff it. I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. Story continues, but without the chili taster.
Chili # 8 Lester's Last Of The Red-Hot Lover's Chili
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare it's existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor Yank, wonder how he'd have reacted to a really hot chili?
I probably should get my son in law to watch it, he's a tennis pro and does not know a lot about tools and stuff. His dad was a builder but he died quite young, well before he could pass on anything to his son.
Going to the best private school in Sydney's North Shore didn't help him to man up a great deal.
He came over on Saturday to borrow some tools, a drill and a pop rivet gun so he could build a little shed he bought. I offered to help but he said he'd be fine.
About midday on Sunday, I'm catching a few Zeds on the lounge and he calls and say, "hey mate, you know that pop rivet gun you lent me" I said "Yes" he says "how does it work"?
I managed to get the idea of the rivet and mandrel across and so I popped in this arvo on the way home to check how he went. Turned out that he done a pretty good job on the assembly, just need a bit of squaring up. but he wanted to get it off the ground a bit so I suggested some old pavers that I had at home.
Anywho, I just finished loading about 50 pavers in the back of my wagon to take there tomorrow arvo and I thought to myself, 'he's going to need to cut some of these and there's no way I'm giving him a grinder and a diamond blade and have him risk his livelihood so I threw in a lump hammer and a bolster along with some thick foam (they have no grass) and I'll see if I can give him some man lessons while I'm there.
As I write I start to think about my own dad and how much I loved to see him work with his hands. He never sat there and taught me, he didn't have to, all I had to do was watch him and that was all I needed.
I just wish I had told him how much he meant to me before we lost him.
had to laugh at james trying to teach the young fella how to woo a women.
First see if she has a boyfriend. and fireworks wooooooo hooooooo
