Lessons of the day

  • When trying to identify a reddish-orange powder in the spice cabinet, do not stick your nose directly into the ziplock bag - the powder may be red pepper.
  • After successfully identifying red pepper and pouring it from the ziplock bag into the jar where it belongs, do not proceed to rub your eyes with your hands.  
Update:

24 hours later, I am still seized by the urge to sneeze when I think of this incident.

Edit on crosspost, 12/8/18: 2 years later, the urge to sneeze has lessened but not gone entirely away.
