Chilli water

My mum has got searing forefingers for three full hours after preparing a chilli dish. Soaking in water only spread the spice to all of the other fingers. Applying after-sun cooling lotion didn't seem to work either. There was much hissing and whimpering and stamping of feet in the midst of much consternation for an unaffected dad, who was the ungrateful patron of the chilli dish. Still, Dad didn't help to alleviate the bitter laments when he coolly and proudly related how my grandpa was once tortured by Japanese interrogation officers by having chilli water forced down his nose.

Just read of a possible method that salt neutralizes "acids" (?) in the chilli, but mum claims the burn to be subsiding, so didn't get to carry in a basin of salt solution in the fashion of little Jang Geum.

自己不受罪，
家人不受累，
省点医药费，
有益全社会。

俗话说“好曲子唱三遍”，尤其是对我们这些集中能力正被纷纷扰扰的商品消殆的现代人，有时候是“一回熟，两回厌”。总理同志今晚在国庆群众大会上重复了这段儿去年讲过了的顺口溜，大概是讲得太顺口了；可能我真的是个非常不能容忍陈腔烂调的人，对演讲的印象顿时打了个大折扣。不过还好在座观众除了听不懂中文的和年年参加的议员爷爷们应该还有许多没注意听去年群众大会的同志们，所以还是发出了音量适当的笑声。
