    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 moment, I would have needed to clarify that men ponder deeply on diverse subjects, sparking further inquiries.

    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.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        So many public intellectuals on TNCR.

        Education is extremely important.

          @Horace said in Pondering:

          So many public pubic intellectuals on TNCR.

          FIFY.
