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.’

There is no charge for wisdom but a lack of wisdom can be very expensive. I rest my case. Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap. FEEL FREE TO SHARE COMMONSENSE
