If it doesn't make you sweat a little, why bother? You collect heat the way other people collect stamps, and 'too spicy' is a dare.

The philosophers weigh in
'Too spicy' is a dare, you say. But who dared you? You are competing in a contest no one announced, for a prize no one will hand over. The chili does not care how brave you are.
