two stupid things in a row

I did two stupid things today.

First, I asked Eric if he wanted to marry me, then I burned my nostrils.

I should expain a little. I didn't PROPOSE to Eric, I just asked if he thought that getting married would be a good idea. I mean, if we did, then he could come with me to Japan. Otherwise he can't get his visa. I pointed out that being married is just some legal thing. It wouldn't have to really change our relationship. Besides, I explained to him, if it didn't work out, we could just get a divorce.

Laughter from his end of the phone.

After we hung up I walked out into the kitchen and decided to smell the chicken that has been cooking all day long. I lifted the glass lid and took a long, deep sniff. Well, that's what I meant to do. What really happened is that I took a short, shocked, burning sniff. As soon as the steam made my nostrils feel like they were on fire my reflexes pulled me away. Good thing my reflexes are so sharp because apparently my intellect isn't.

Who does that? Who burns their nostrils?
