The judges agree (the male ones at least).

You win.

I think Freud's spirit just ripped my soul apart.

Oooo you almost fell out of the ferris wheel. Completely different story, now it's not so funny but rather tragic. Was your 'left nad' ok or did it rupture? That's pretty serious.

I had thought you had just sat on it for a prolonged period of time.

It didn't rupture but something else further up probably did. If any of you men have had the experience where you have tight pants and you sit down just right to make your 'nad "pop upward", well it was like that times 100. Oddly I never went to the doctor but perhpas its time. Perhaps I'll tell the doctor I won a contest and need them to help me claim the prize.

:rolleyes:

So let's see. The two competing styles are pants so big they're constantly falling down or pants so tight ... :rolleyes:

You know, back in my day, men wore pants that fit. Of course, back in my day, we didn't have days yet.

Broken bones in chronological order:
1. Left elbow (about 4 years old -- fell off bunk bed)
2. Left foot, three bones in five places. (Skateboarding)
3. Right forearm, both bones, three places. (Soccer)
4. Left clavicle and four ribs. (Motorcycle)
5. Left wrist. (Motorcycle)
6. Right patella. (Ladder.) Pins and wires required.

However, my worst injury didn't involve broken bones. I was 14, riding my bicycle on the sidewalk, and one of the pedals broke. I lost control, fell, and slid off the sidewalk and under a parked car. There happened to be someone in the car, but they didn't see me. They began to drive away... over my back. A friend riding with me jumped in front of the car and stopped him, otherwise he probably would have driven over my legs. Our family photo album has pictures showing the tire marks imprinted on my back.

I was in the hospital for about a week with (if I remember correctly) mild internal bleeding. No surgery, no broken bones, just a couple of severe abrasions (I still have the scars).
