G'day JayDee. You should have been a Crown Prosecutor!! In a few well chosen words and a fine example, you have just proven the case beyond all reasonable doubt. Funnily enough, I recall reading an article in some magazine or other such as 'Women's Weekly' or 'No Idea' or some such; where A WOMAN, after having five (5) babies, claimed that through the correct attitude, the latter four births were akin to having an orgasm.............!!!??? O.K. I'm not in a position to uphold or negate that claim. Maybe she was on some serious drugs or from another planet or both. Apparently pain is a relative thing. I've been shot, stabbed, beaten up more times than I care to remember (I'm certainly not wearing this face for a bet) and had almost every bone in my left side broken; yet whilst playing volleyball (don't ask) I was coming down from a spike whilst a guy was jumping up and was caught squarely in the groin. This rendered me unconscious for a short time and when I came back to the land of the living it was the greatest pain I've experienced and it didn't stop for hours. I was carried off the field (not by a team who was concerned for my welfare but only because I was in the way and holding up the game). Yet both my wives (yes, I didn't learn) are adamant that child birth is more painful. Who know? Anyhow, loved your post and will use same in future relevant conversations citing you as the pentultimate champion of pain provenance.

What deep thinkers we men are... 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 that instead of saying 'just thinking' is because she would have said 'about what'. At that point I would have to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics which would lead to other questions. Finally I thought about an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the n**s? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the n*ts. Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question. Getting kicked in the n*ts is more painful than having a baby; and 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 n*ts." I rest my case. Time for another beer., would you like to join me in some deep thinking
Jay & Dee I had a similar experience recently. I was sitting outside my MH under the awning drinking a nice glass of red looking at the sea. My partner came out of the MH and said "What are you doing ?" I said "Nothing". She said "You did that yesterday" and I said "But I haven't finished yet " !!!

Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Oh, I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face with laughter, but it does remind me of another story but from a womens point of view.
A woman had just given birth and her husband was sitting holding her hand and asked "Now darling was it as painful as everyone says it is?"
Her reply was "Well dear, put your fingers each side of your mouth and pull as hard as you can. This he did and remarked - Well that is not so bad, and his wife replied, "Now flip your top lip over your head!!..............I leave the rest to your imagination.
I must have been a slow learner as I went back for 2 more.
Me too chicken. Ended up with 3. After the 3rd one .I finally worked out that while I loved being pregnant. It was the bit at the end (no pun intended) that I didn't like. So sent hubby off to the Vets hahahaha
