Frank:   "Recently, I was  honored to be selected as a judge at a Curry Cook-off.  The original person  called in sick at the last moment and so I happened to be standing there at the  judge's table asking for directions to the Beer Garden when the call came in.  I  was assured by the other two judges (Natal 'Indians') that the curry wouldn't be  all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the  tasting, so I accepted". 
 Here are the scorecard notes from the event:  
CURRY # 1 - SEELAN'S MANIAC MONSTER TOMATO CURRY... 
   Judge  # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. 
Judge # 2 -- Nice  smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. 
Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy ****, what  the **** is this stuff?  You could remove  dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out.  I hope  that's the worst one.  These people are crazy. 
 CHILI # 2 -  PHOENIX BBQ CHICKEN CURRY... 
  Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of  chicken.  Slight chili tang. 
Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs  more peppers to be taken seriously. 
 Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the  reach of children.  I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain.  I had  to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich manoeuvre! They had to  rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. 
 CURRY  # 3 - SHAMILA'S FAMOUS "BURN DOWN THE GARAGE" CURRY... 
   Judge # 1 --  Excellent firehouse curry.  Great kick. 
Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good  use of chili peppers. 
Judge # 3 -- Call 911.  I've located a uranium  spill.  My nose feels like I have been snorting Drain Cleaner.  Everyone knows  the routine by now.  Get me more beer before I ignite.  Barmaid pounded me on  the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest.  I'm getting ****ed  from all the beer. 
 CHILI # 4 - BABOO'S BLACK MAGIC BEAN  CURRY... 
   Judge #  1 -- Black bean curry with almost no spice.   Disappointing. 
Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans.  Good side  dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a curry. 
Judge # 3 -- I  felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it.  Is it  possible to burn out taste buds?  Shareen, the beer maid, was standing behind me  with fresh refills.  That 200kg woman is starting to look HOT...just like this  nuclear waste I'm eating!  Is chili an aphrodisiac? 
 CHILI #  5  LALL'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER... 
   Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong curry.   Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very  impressive.  
Judge # 2 -- Average beef curry, could use more tomato.  Must admit the  chili peppers make a strong  statement. 
Judge # 3 -- My ears are  ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes.  I  farted and four people behind me needed paramedics.  The contestant seemed  offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage.  Shareen  saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher.   I wonder if I'm burning my lips off.  It really ****es me off that the other  judges asked me to stop screaming.  Screw them 
 CHILI # 6 -   VERISHNEE'S VEGETARIAN VARIETY... 
   Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold  vegetarian variety curry.  Good balance of spices and peppers. 
Judge # 2  -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.  Superb.  
Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous,  sulfuric flames.  I am definitely going to ***** myself if I fart and I'm worried  it will eat through the chair.  No one seems inclined to stand behind me except  that Shareen.  Can't feel my lips anymore.  I need to wipe my ass with a snow  cone ice cream. 
 CHILI # 7 - SELINA'S  "MOTHER-IN-LAW'S-TONGUE" CURRY... 
   Judge # 1 -- A mediocre curry with  too much reliance on canned peppers. 
Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if  the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. (I should  take note at this stage that I am worried about Judge # 3.  He appears to be in  a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably). 
Judge # 3 -- You  could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing.   I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing  water.  My shirt is covered with curry which slid unnoticed out of my mouth.  My  pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least, during the autopsy, they'll  know what killed me.  I've decided to stop breathing - it's too painful.  Screw  it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway.  If I need air I'll just suck it in  through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. 
 CHILI # 8 - NAIDOO'S  TOENAIL CURLING CURRY... 
   Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending.  This is a  nice blend curry.  Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.  
Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced curry.  Neither mild  nor hot.  Sorry to see that  most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed  out, fell over and pulled the curry pot down on  top of himself.  Not sure if  he's going to make it.  Poor man, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot  curry?  
Judge # 3 - No Report
