What kind of person would pay someone to shove wasabi up their nose? I'd have trouble getting to sleep if I had to look forward to that in the morning.

first time I ever had wasabi, or rather, wassabi as a side,that _I_ was responsbile for mixing and matching and such was when I was stationed in japan. I'd had sushi's and soy wassabi mixes while eating sashimi before I went to japan, but I never had the little pile of green horeradish mucous sitting on the side of my plate until I went to japan.

I'm eating a multi-cultural picnic with my friends and our japanese girlfriends one day, and I see it sitting there, and I ask what it is. The girls tell me, I don't know what it is, so I just dip the very tip of my chopstick into it for a taste. I figure, HEY! how much can stick to a chopstick? and I put it into my mouth.

I was blowing my nose for about a minute or so. I'm used to spicey food, but I'm not used to a tiny little chopsticks worth of something flushing my sinus' like snake router.
