Laughter causes pain.

Okay, I got kicked in the groin a couple hours ago. Still aches. I was at a friend's house and he was calling a coupl other mutual friends. I was pestering him when he was on the phone. Distracting him and dipping my pinky finger into his coffee and licking it. He responds with a swift snap-kick to my 'boys' an proceeds to finish the phone conversation while I lie on his carpet moaning and holding myself. Well, after I recovered, and we were laughing about it, this turned into a conversation on why I get struck in the groin so much more often than usual.

See, I'm 5'9" and a rather muscular 175lbs. I'm in pretty good shape. But most of my friends are over 6 feet and in excess of 200 lbs. I'm the runt. But despite that, every time I get smeared when playing football or rugby by these giants, I always peel myself off the grass, laughing about it. Whenever I get 'accidentally' struck in the groin, I am usually trying to gasp for breath and laugh at the same time. It seems that my tendency to laugh at my own horrific pain has generated an aire of indestructibility around me. My friends think it's okay to obliterate me because I always get up and laugh about it. I never get angry. I always come back for more. This is especially noteworthy when I get struck in the groin. It mystifies my friend how I can laugh about it. Even when I'm rolling on the ground.

I tried to explain to him that It's like I'm my own spectator. I laugh because I can view myself from the third person, and it's funny as hell to me when the little guy gets wrecked. Unfortunately, I'm the little guy. We came to the conclusion that I'm more or less doomed to die young and that t's a good thing I had a kid while I still could.

Am I doomed?

At least you haven't been shot there with a paintballgun. I witnessed as one of my friends did, It was painfull, yet funny, to watch as he withered on the ground holding himself. But the really funny part came when he stuck his hand down there to see if it wasn't bleeding and it came out all red, turns out it was a red paintball.

I've managed something similar but less... masochistic. I've got all my friends absolutely convinced beyond all doubt that I am too weak to hurt them or drag them around. Now, no matter how many times I *do* hurt them and/or drag them across a room, they'll just resolutely go back to believing I'm too weak to do so. It's either some sort of seriously weird denial, or double-think.

Don't know what practical purpose there is to training your friends to injure you, but I'll just assume it's part of some master plan you aren't sharing.

That happened to an old friend of mine. It wasn't that funny though. The only funny part was his new nickname, Captain Oneball.

I've been to the hospital twice in regards to my genitals. Once as a freshman in high school, and once in college. Both times, the doctor made the same statement. 'Everything is intact. Though you may or may not suffer from fertility problems in the future. The swelling will go down in due time.'

Some are. Indeed. Watch out for the tweens-early teens at younger children's parties. If the average age of the party fuests is 6-9 and there's a 12 year old there, beware. There's gonna be trouble in one way shape or form.

I've paintballed quite a bit. It rocks. A friend wore a cup but the cup caused more problems than helped. In fact in over 2 years o playing the only one that almost was hit in the newts was me and that was a miss.
Trick (I found) is to wear baggy pants with another layer (shorts or something) underneath. Also helps to wear real army style fatigues (thicker).

A place to worry more about getting hit - the neck.

Well, it's true. Now, the last thing I want to do is go into the description of another man's genitals. But since you forced me to...

He had unusually small testicles. His penis seemed to be of average size. Maybe even a bit larger. But he had teeny, tiny little balls. Which might have been part of his downfall. He was on the wrestling team and on the football team in high school. One day, playing high school football, he didn't wear a cup. Forgot it or some thing. Anyhoo, somehow, one of his balls slipped between his thigh and thighpad. He got tackled and... well, there was nowhere for the ball to escape the sudden compression of a sudden impact. Splat. Gone. Anyhoo, he got a fake testicle. It was the talk of the school for quite some time. See, they didn't make fake testicles his size, so he ended up with one nut(the fake) larger than the other. Visibly so.

I know exactly what you mean. One part of me is in love with the greatest guy in the world, they other half of me pretends to be someone else so I can laugh at how pathetic I am. One side of me believes in love and finds romantic things wonderful. The other side just wants everyone to die and thinks love and all other emotions (excluding hatred) are just signs of weakness. The saddist side of me also thinks romantics things and gestures need to be burnt, dieing chocking on the smell of its own burning flesh.

Laughter can hurt. For instance, a friend of mine thought he'd act all tough by giving me an open handed slap in the face. I responded with a kick to the balls (I weighed about 260-280 at the time :D ). He was on the ground clutching them, and I too soon went down laughing. I think he got up before I did.

Now why would you kick in the balls? No honor.

A few days ago a friend and I were holding a little contest to see who could kill the other more (snap neck, cut throat, etc). I saw him running up behind me from the corner of my eye (he made an arc :D) and caught him full in the chest with a back kick. He gasped, cussed a bit, congratulated me on the 'kill' and walked it off. Then he snapped my neck while my back was turned and I was talking to another friend...

In the end I won, and the purpose of my story was to illustrate that not only a kick to the balls makes you gasp for air while laughing.

In the split second after being slapped in the face the first thought that came to mind was to get back at him in a more condescending way.

Also throat stabs and strikes are great ways to 'kill'. :cool:

Unless I'm fighting for my life, there's only two body parts I avoid; the neck and the knees.

Yes, that's right. I'll kick someone in the nuts without hesitation, but I won't kick someone in the knees. Let me tell you why; The testicles, are sturdier than people give them credit for. The knees, on the other hand, are a lot more fragile than people think. *nod*
