There once was a group of hunting buddies sitting around a campfire, discussing the day’s events when a hunter named Bob came in complaining about a twisted ankle.
While some of his friends were attending to his ankle, his old buddy Fred came up and said, “That ain’t nothing, I broke a leg falling out of a jeep. Now, that was painful”.
Another friend, Adam, upon overhearing that statement proclaimed, “You think that’s bad, you should have been with me when I had to pass some kidney stones. It took two days, and I thought I was going to die”.
Not to be out-done, George, the veteran in the crowd, piped up, “Heck y’all don’t know what pain is. Why over in Viet Nam, I was shot in the leg. It blew a one-inch whole out the back side of my leg. Now, that was real pain”.
Another buddy, Robert, injected, “Y’all don’t know what you’re talking about. Year before last, I backed up to one of those propane heaters, in my insulated coveralls and set them on fire. Had second degree burns all over my butt and I am telling you that is the most painful thing there is”.
Finally, everyone noticed Larry in the corner with a smirky smile on his face and Bob said “OK. Who do you think has the most painful injury”? Larry, turned to them and said, “That’s easy, none of you”. To which they all responded, “What do you mean”. And Larry said, “Last year, I was out hunting, alone. I had been there for 3 or 4 hours when nature called and I had to find a place to, shall we say, make a deposit. So I went around behind a tree, dropped my pants, and squatted down to do my business. I hadn’t noticed the steel trap that someone had set there and upon contact with my scrotum, it slammed shut”. At this point, all of Larry’s friends started agreeing that “Yes, that had to be the most painful injury of all”. To which, Larry replied, “No, that’s not the most painful injury, the most painful injury happened when I hit the end of the chain on the trap”. At this point everyone fell quiet.
