This reminds me, and not in a good way, of an anecdote from All The President's Men that Deep Throat tells Bob Woodward:
I was at a party once, and, uh, Liddy put his hand over a candle, and he kept it there. He kept it right in the flame until his flesh was burned. Somebody said, “What’s the trick?” And Liddy said, “The trick is not minding.”
