Exactly. I’m with you.
When I posted this, I figured there would be some smart remarks, but I hadn’t figured that the entire comment thread would consist almost entirely of posters who sounded like they were in junior high school.
I know. We all do this kind of thing on occasion, the Internet is rife with it, I’ve done it...poking fun at something like this, but...okay. Enough.
And guys are far worse, even when it is a friend who has been nailed...and even later, when the guy is feeling better, HE laughs about it, then laughs at some poor schlub who gets a line drive in the crotch.
We wince, but we laugh. It is true, and when a guy is rolling on the ground, the other guys kind of gather around him, making little jokes to break things up a bit, until the guy on the ground, his face bathed in sweat, manages to make a humorous remark about it too.
Years later, when having beers, we still laugh uproariously at the memory, the person who took the hit usually the one telling the story.
Sigh. I guess it is just part and parcel of being a guy.
They would have included photos but it was a bit ‘hard on’ the eyes.
