Maybe I'm just paranoid but anytime I see any crazy little kicking and punching children I instinctively know to keep something(like a shopping cart) between them and my jewels. I don't want to end up the butt of jokes because I got owned by a hyperactive kiddy.

Guess I will be one of the few in the pissed off camp. I would have called the cops and filed a report, not that it would do any good. Then I would get a lawyer and proceed to make that woman's life hell on earth. No effort or expense would be spared. She stood there laughing? Your wife was laughing as well? You are a better man than me that is for sure. I would probably be in divorce couirt by now.

That being said, it was an extremely well written story!

Great Writing; inspired by the equally great pain.


ps. You might want to try "Reader's Digest" for some extra cash, to help easing the pain. ;)

I agree that the act itself is not funny in any way, shape or form.

However, I do think that one reason why so many are laughing is the way the story is told. It was an excellent piece of writing. If not Reader's Digest, then see if your local paper will run it.

Plus, the writer himself did not get angry. He wasn't happy about it, but he tried to ease the pain by telling us his creative piece of writing.

That was some great story telling :D However, I feel that your pain could not have compared to the errant tennis ball that found its way to my crotch last summer during a game of tennis doubles from a guy on my OWN side of the court. I collapsed for at least a half an hour in terrible agony. Oh the memories!!! :(

Being as I am not The One, I was unable to evade the lightening fast fist this 5 year old version of Agent Smith was aiming directly at me. Full force contact was made DIRECTLY on my my crotch, knocking my testicles into the Nether Region of my abdoman. The hit was so clean and precise that only the Ancient Shaolin Masters would be able to duplicate.

This has got to be the funnies thing I have heard in weeks! LOL! :beer: for you!
Laughing my ass of right now! HAHAH!

Absolutely! Great story, bad reason.

(You know it's good when you've written six paragraphs and no one is screaming ~cliffnotes~ within the first fifty replies.)

The moral of the story is that all of us should prepare for such an event by hitting ourselves in the testicles repeatedly until no more pain can be felt there. :p

That or wear a cup all day.

If you don't write, you should! BTW, it's always the shot you don't see coming that fells you ;)
