HOW much pain would you put up with to help your friend? Less than you would for your close relatives, but more than you would for a charity, according to a study that looked at the basis of altruistic behaviour. For women, however, best friends rank higher than cousins, while men put all family members ahead of friends.

Way to go women and especially nurses!
>>under fear of suspension... I cannot repeat some of the things my wife called me during the birth of all 4 of our kids... she would’ve been an excellant sailor!<<
What did Bill Cosby say - that its easy for man to understand the pain of child birth - just take your lower lip and pull it up over your forehead.
I’ve been told, though, that is not a sufficient description.
I'd take a bullet for you...and I don't even know you.
Close, but no cigar. What he said was one of the funniest lines in a comedy routine I ever heard. He said, "She stood straight up in the stirrups (his wife in labor), grabbed my lower lip, and pulled it up over my head". That routine was soooo funny!
I’ve been told, though, that is not a sufficient description.
If you pinned your lip up there for a number of hours, it could be close.
Jeff Foxworthy put it best.
When a women breaks up with her boyfriend, she calls all her friends over and they spend all day commiserating.
When a guy breaks up, he can be at the gym working out with his male buddy. And when he tells his friend that he just broke up with his girlfriend, the guy will just say, “That’s too bad. Hey, can you spot me?”
A true man would fight to stop the pain, not “endure it” nor allow somebody else to endure it.... 8<)
But a liberal studies how long a person puts up with pain? Yet votes to surrender (and kill millions) to avoid claims that war causes the troops “pain”?
“And when the next pain hit, she told everyone in the delivery room that my parents were never married!”
Crackin’ up just thinking about it.

That’s funny.
My response is more like “I’m sorry... or congratulations, which ever is appropriate. Can I buy you a beer?”
I've been told it's like trying to pee a cantaloupe.
Passing a kidney stone is as close as a man will come to knowing what child pain feels like, in my opinion. I’ve given birth and had kidney stones.
Pain hurts.
When we were little, my sister and I used to argue about which was more painful, giving birth or getting kicked in the nuts.
Of course, the answer is obvious: Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful. But it’s been pretty tough to convince my sister, or any other women, of that.
So the real question they should be asking is, “Would you let yourself be kicked in the nuts for your best friend?”
:-)
Or some guys’ reaction would be, “Now that you two have broken up, can I date her?”

Rookie mistake. Beer first. Then ask. :)
They started to clean it off... and it wasn't getting any better.
Cosby is the greatest and he never had to resort to n----r this and f--- that to be funny, like pryor rock murphy etc.
