Retired men are deep thinkers

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.

This man's genius is breathtaking. Wisdom comes with age. I hope I live long enough to be able to think that profoundly.
