Most people remember where they were on transformative historical days--fall of the Berlin Wall, landing on the moon, the election of Barack Obama. One of today's gifts--the hot sauce--takes me back to November 12, a day that has been burned into memory and historical unimportance.
I was in college and my cross country teammates and I were enjoying a post-practice meal. One of the freshman runners--Hank (whose last name shall remain omitted for his own protection)--declared to the table that he was going to drink a whole 5 fl. oz bottle of McIlhenny's tabasco sauce like a shot. Well, he did it and...I don't think he was able to lay down for at least a week.
Whenever I see a bottle of hot sauce, I think of November 12 and the poor custodial workers.
