Hello there AV Club readers. On occasion, someone sends along an e-mail that is SO FUNNY that I am compelled to pass it along for your enjoyment.

Today is one of those days.

This was sent to me by a UNNAMED FRIEND (his name will be omitted to protect his reputation). In case you are wondering, I did get his permission before posting this. I assured him that I would not reveal his identity (but of course, if you use the comments section to beg, perhaps I will reveal).

Ken,

Here's a cooking lesson I learned today.

ALWAYS Wash Your Hands Thoroughly after handling jalapeno peppers. I
diced one today for tacos, and made a quick "pit stop" while
everything was simmering.

Suddenly there was Fire Down Below.

I was thinking seriously about dialling 911, but then remembered these
calls are always recorded (and might be humiliating later). Water
only seemed to spread and actually intensify the effect, which lasted
about 20 painful minutes.

Won't make that mistake again, I promise. And neither will my kids
(not sure now I can have any).
