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.
