I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.
The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep
thinking.
My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said,
"Nothing." The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is
because she then would have asked, "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.
Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than
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, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come
up with an answer to that question. Getting kicked in the nuts is more
painful than having a baby, and 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."
On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like
another kick in the nuts."
I rest my case. Time for another beer, and then maybe a nap.
