Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 I'm too tired to contribute anything of substance just now, but I heard this odd bit on the radio earlier today, and thought some of you might get a laugh: NEW DELHI (AFP) - US Ambassador to India Robert Blackwill ended his stormy two-year tenure in New Delhi Tuesday with the candid admission that a regional strain of Indian pepper was too hot for him to handle. In his final speech to local business captains, he tagged a unique label to chillies that lace the cuisine of India's southern Andhra Pradesh state, in an opaque reference to the hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. "Andhra Pradesh with its path-breaking e-governance, and food hotter than hot. Don't let anyone tell you differently; those Andhra peppers are without doubt weapons of mass destruction!" Blackwill said in his stirring address. Source: http://www.brunei-online.com/bb/wed/jul30w18.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
