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 in that hammock.
I was kicked in the nuts when I was 13 playing football,,, and it hurt a bit,,, I had the max amount of morphine they could give me and the local GP had to put me under a general anaesthetic at 7pm Sat due to pain and swelling (grapefruit size) until the second doctor (anaesthetist) arrived from the next town for the emerg surgery.
I NEVER want a repeat of that for sure.

Aussie Paul, i'am going to reply to two of your posts, after the 1st " nothing " on line three my missus would have replied " but you did that yesterday" and I said but I wasn't finished.
The gps lady asked me to stop at the next corner and let her out, I don't think she liked my driving .
