A cook named McMurray
Got a raise in a hurry
From his Hindu employer

My favourite in this category is "Ouch!", a concoction by one J. Hicks of Sandy Lake, PA. Unlike some sauces of this ilk it is not only quite hot, but it has a good taste.
lusy! My darling lusy! Oh, welcome back, welcome back! HUG! KISS!!! You can't think how delighted I am to see you again, my lovely, loving lusy! [throwing my arms around you e]
Being your slave what should I do but tend
Upon the hours, and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend;
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world without end hour,
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour,
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save, where you are, how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love, that in your will,
Though you do anything, he thinks no ill.
Shakespeare, sonnet LVII

Hot can be a matter of what you are used too!
Indeed! My friend Roshan, on his last visit here, brought me a bottle of an Indian orange hot sauce. I took a teeny-tiny bit and about blew the top of my head off.
I couldn't believe it when I saw him swallow a teaspoonful with hardly a blink!
I reciprocated by introducing him to fresh horseradish, a New England brand called "MR."
I ate a tablespoonful on a small piece of bread and while it did clear my head it was no big deal.
However, when Roshan had a tiny bit on a piece of bread he had the same reaction to horseradish that I had to his orange hot sauce!
Chacun a son gout or whatever!
