THE PAIN!!!!!!
Here's a good (albeit painful) excuse to skip biology class for half an hour:
Get habanero pepper oil on your face. Better yet, your eye. But your face is just as effective, and not as dangerous.
Thank you Michaela and company, for handing me the pepper in an attempt to get me to eat it. You were unaware, of course, that I am a hot pepper aficionado, nor were you aware that the habanero pepper, while certainly NOT the hottest, levels out at a fiery 200k-300k Scoville Units. The hottest pepper is the Red Savine Habanero pepper, which is documented around 350k-577k Scoville units, and is so dangerous it is illegal for consumption in most countries. To put things in persepective, a typical Jalapeno pepper is about 4,500 Scoville units.
So I WASN'T dumb enough to eat the pepper, but I WAS dumb enough to touch my face without washing my hands, and then rub it, trying to figure out why it was burning. I figured it out after a while, and made a big scene in Dailey's class, splashing water up on my face and turning purple. This act got Dailey to write me a pass to the Nurse's office, which I pocketed and managed to avoid going back to class for almost half an hour.
It's pretty sad when you hate a class enough to rub pepper oil on your face in order to skip class.
