One of my men friends posted this on facebook lol

thanks to Godfrey Desh:

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."
But 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. Then maybe a nap.

Back when I had a kidney stone, I tried to underplay the pain out of respect for all the women who give birth. My wife, who has never had a kidney stone, but has colleagues who have, told me that all of her female friends said a kidney stone was much worse than giving birth.

I never, ever want to have another kidney stone. Even though the first one was cute, cuddly, and said funny things.

so I have to be careful here with my response.

I can think of a certain individual whose fake tan is a color not found in nature, who based on his current responses to a recent court ruling, would almost certainly say "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I'm not going to say who that person is though.

Women are willing to suffer pain to have a child because it is part of the deal. And most women wanting a child would be willing to kick the man in the nuts if that were also part of the deal. However, I will give you this: my labor was 34 hours and it would have been tiring and tiresome to have to kick someone for that many hours while also giving birth.

from my friend's page, to give credit entirely to whoever had that deep thought.
