Negative Thinking…
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to
Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser,
who responded: " Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there?
It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome.
So, how are you getting there?" "We're taking Continental," was
the reply. "We got a great rate!" "Continental?" exclaimed the
hairdresser. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are
old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late.
So, where are you staying in Rome?" "We'll be at this exclusive
little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste." "Don't go
any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna
be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. "You and a million other
people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant.
Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need
it."
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The
hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome . "It was wonderful,"
explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's
brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first
class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome
28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel
was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and
now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were
overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no
extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know
you didn't get to see the Pope." "Actually, we were quite lucky,
because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the
shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the
visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and
wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five
minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand!
I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."
"Oh, really! What'd he say ?" He said: "Where'd you get the crappy
Hairdo?"

Chili Peppers...
Chili and chile are both the pungent fruit of the capsicum, also called
chile or chili pepper.
The heat from a chile pepper is concentrated in the interior veins or
ribs near the seed heart, not in the seeds as is commonly believed
Too much heat? Do not drink water- capsaicin which is an oil, will
not mix with water but instead, will distribute to more parts of the
mouth.
Capsaicin has been associated with many cures that include lowering
blood pressure, reducing cholesterol and warding off strokes and heart
attacks, speeding up metabolism, treating colds and fevers, preventing
cancer and pain control.
The scientific journal Toxicon reported that drinking a quart and a half
of Louisiana-style hot sauce will cause death by respiratory failure if
your body weight is 140 pounds or less.
