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 beer 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.
