After doing some yardwork yesterday I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was quite beautiful, and my drink facilitated some deep thinking. My wife walked by and asked what I was doing. I said, "Nothing." Now the reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "Thinking about what?" At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions. She left me alone. After another beer I pondered the age old question: What is more painful, giving birth or getting kicked in the nuts? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know? Well, after another beer or two, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question. Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby. Even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion: A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child." I have never heard a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts." I rest my case. Time for another beer.
