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.
