Daffy Zone…..

The reason i ask is, i grew some of those (Carolina Reapers), but i can't get anybody to try them. I won't, but i warn them ahead of time, because I always tell them I'm afraid to try them, because i am. I wasn't careful enough when i picked them once, and my eye waterered enough to melt two ice cubes.

I guess i could always tell someone i don't like that they're just mild peppers.....but they just look mean.
My dad grew some reapers next to some banana peppers, they got cross-pollinated. He liked experimenting with what he could grow. I come by to visit once, and he's leaning back on the front of his pickup, drinking coffee, smoking a cig, and munching on a banana pepper...

Mind you, I have asthma and a touch of COPD because everyone in my family were heavy smokers. This is what the literary types call "foreshadowing"....

So he says "try this", and hands me one of these boobytrapped peppers. I got 3 bites in before I had the worst asthma attack possible and was about to pass out from lack of O2!!! Dad looks at me, says "...You OK?" ...I was not amused. About 30 minutes later I can finally breathe enough to say something. Told the old man, "You do that to me again, and I'll kill you." I meant it too. He gave me a week to cool off (in every sense), and then apologized. Smart move; if he'd said anything any sooner, I mighta clocked him upside the head.

To his credit, he never asked me about trying a reaper pepper. That old man had a cast iron stomach!!
 
Speaking of joints, I can dislocate and relocate my middle finger at will.
Let me demonstrate:
