Stealing peppers

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Darwin says, "Accepted into the Archive."

ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

I heard this story from my dad. He worked in the kitchen at one of the local prison units for years.

One day an inmate stole a bag of jalepenos, peppers in juice. He stuffed the plastic bag down the front of his pants. As he is attempting his get away, the bag busted. In an attempting to cool the fires, he jumps in the shower. It's winter and they only have hot water. This only made things worse. The inmate was then quickly nicknamed "Crispy Balls".

That COULD happen! Well, that probably got him extra time in the cooler (no pun intended!) Thanks, Karmyn!

Ohhh . . . ouch! I burnt a FINGER with peppers once. Any other region doesn't bear thinking about! Thanks, Karmyn

Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest

Hardback. 304 pages. Autographed.
$15
The human race's most popular humor series returns with a brand-new collection of macabre mishaps and misadventures. Honoring those who improve our gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves from it, the Darwin Awards III shows once more how uncommon common sense still is.

Salute the sheriff who inadvertently shot himself--twice! Witness the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw! Heed the story of the farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag! Cringe at the man crushed by a branch he'd just severed... directly over his head!

123 new stories, 18 full-page illustrations, plus discussions of transgenic animals, the origin of life, and more.

Autographed by Author!
