Heh, I laugh every time I see it...I think I find it funnier listening to the guys giggling in the sound booth...

Guys are odd about this.

If you ever see a guy get hit in the gonads by a softball or something, all the other guys kind of gather round, shift from foot to foot, and make ribald jokes while the poor guy on the ground has his eyes closed, sweat on his face, both hands clutching his crotch.

One of my favorite stories is from the book “All Creatures Great and Small” written by a veterinarian back in the 1930’s.

The vet was talking about this one old, diminutive Yorkshire farmer who was so circumspect, that he couldn’t even say the word “pregnant” or “uterus”, and would talk all around the subject of sexual anatomy on the animals. One day, he was helping the vet by holding onto a cow, when it lashed out with its hind leg and hit the little farmer square in the nuts.

He went over, with the poor guy laying in the ground in the classic posture, and the vet didn’t know what to say, so even though he wanted to provide encouragement, he thought it better to just let the guy say something first since it was obviously a delicate and embarrassing subject for the guy, and he didn’t want to say balls or nuts, never mind “testicles”...

After the farmer had lain there a while eyes still closed, the vet saw the little guy’s mustache twitch, and when he leaned in to hear, he heard him say: “Got me right in the privates.”

Of course, thinking of that immediately brought to mind the famous Bevis and Butthead episode called "No Laughing" where they get punished for talking and laughing in class, so they get punished by the principal who said that they were not allowed to laugh for an entire day, and sends them to a class taught by the former Marine who is going to teach sex education that day...

Beavis and Butt-Head: No Laughing!

COACH BRADLEY BUZZCUT: So, Beavis and Butt-Head, I understand Mr McVicker has made a little arrangement with you guys. Yeah, a little probation.

You see, class, Beavis and Butt-Head here are not allowed to laugh for a whole week. That's right. And if they do laugh, they'll be expelled and they'll have to go to Hope High School, where they'll get their asses kicked on a daily basis by all the other delinquents.

Well, I was real glad to hear that, because this is sex education week. That's right, sex ed week.

We're gonna be talking about the penis!

We'll be talking about the vagina!

Do you think that's funny, Butt-Head?

Do you find it amusing that we'll be talking about the testicles?

Yes, were also gonna be talking about venereal disease!

Sexual intercourse!

The scrotum!

The clitoris!

And we will definitely be spending a lot of time talking about masturbation!

Well, now that that's out of the way, let's take roll.

Then there's the old comic routine where he asks. "What hurts more: having a baby or a guy getting a solid kick in the crotch?

He reasons that a kick in the crotch must be more painful because after childbirth, a woman will eventually say, "You know, I think I'd like to have another baby."

On the other hand, no matter how much time has passed, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I'd like to get kicked in the crotch again!"
