Here is a sure fire way...
Go buy a Jalepeno, cut it in half and while NYLP is driving take his hand (it will be the Right hand...most likely the one he does the pickin with), and without him knowing rub his fingers with the Jalepeno...and just wait to see what happens...and pray his eyes don't itch before he needs to mine the green gold!
...Oh and let me know when you are going to do this...it may be worth the price of a plane ticket.
