Oh no! Howard didn't like it. The chili pepper in the fat has burned his ass 'red hot.'
The buddies and their fishing. Very-well directed and played out. Very normal and exciting. Great job by the author. The artwork is well-chosen.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Holy Habaneros, Sankey! Now that's gotta' sting! At first, I thought you were referring to, ah, how do I put this delicately -- some other< extremity.
Hopefully, Howard and his hemorrhoids have fully recovered by now. Having that particular affliction, it couldn't have felt too great on it's way out after digestion, either.
Funny stuff!

Hi Dean you are funny mate. I have managed to get Howard or Junior as we knew him's widow to come join us here on FS so hopefully she will have some other interesting stories to share later on. He is relieved now mate home in Glory! Thanks for the top review I loved it!
-
My pleasure, Sankey, or as you say in the Land down under...No worries, mate!
-
Hi Dean the saying has become acceptable all over I think it started in our Southern State of Victoria. hehe!
-
The Crocodile Hunter Nature show, with the late Steve Irwin, and the movie, Crocodile Dundee made the phrase popular here in the States, Sankey.
-
Ok great and he wasn't Victorian either he was a painter and Docker before he came to fame as an actor painting our Harbour Bridge would you believe.
-
Huh, I never would have guessed that!
Comment from judiverse
This is funny, and the kind of story that gets told over and over. Poor Howard must have had a hard time living that one down. I wouldn't have thought of using chili pepper to season the fish. Apparently Howard hadn't considered that possibility either. Interesting tale and excellent narrative style. You might try a less awkward way of wording "The eating was finished. maybe "The men had finished eating." Good description of Howard's reaction to the chili pepper in the fat. judi

Comment from seaglass
These are the kind of stories one hopes his mate will never tell. This is a well written flash story of a real event I would never had thought of using the fat but would have ran for the river anyway.
I know a guy that tried BenGay for jock itch and ended up in the hospital.

Don't know Ben gay I have a Dermatitis cream I use for that and it is good just have to not do it too often as it is the stronger percentage of chemical ahhhh! Pardon the frankness you being a lady and all hehe. Dorothy was talking about the story with us on Face book only yesterday. have been Online friends with her and her late husband (Junior was his nickname) for years. She had a lovely photo of him in a Confederate Officers Uniform. Really nice. Of course he wasn't around back then hehe. Thanks for the great review
-
BenGay is an American medicated cream that is supposed to be used for sore muscles. It has a peppery, burning feel to the skin. Not intended for tender, sensitive areas.
-
Right like Dencorub with Menthol in it I think! Guessing? OR Voltaren Cream same thing hehe can't get those mixed with the Derma Soft ha!
-
After using Bengay, it's advised to wash hands. If you accidently rub your eye, you're in for a day of pain.
-
Right fer shore!! I know what you mean!

Good old angler tales. How wonderfully amusing they tend to be. From The One That Got Away to the Wife's Tale, no pastime has tales more amusing than fishing. Thanks for sharing this one.

Humorous story of an ill-fated fishing trip. You have made good choice of language in the narrative and descriptions. It read well and was an enjoyable read. Faye
