Doctor: It’s the male equivalent to child birth… you have a kidney stone… actually you have a lot of kidney stones but only one is the problem now.
Clint: how big is it?
Doctor: maybe four millimeters
Clint: that doesn’t sound very big!
Doctor: well the tube it has to travel through isn’t quite that big.
Clint: ohh…How far does it have to travel?
Doctor: about 14 inches.
Clint: how far has it gone?
Doctor: About 13 1/2 inches.
Clint: (optimistically) oh! good, then it should be over soon?
Doctor: Could be a day… could be a year.

February 17, 2009 at 7:49 pmI am sorry for your pain, but don’t try try to get female sympathy. LISTEN TO ME—-THERE IS NO, I REPEAT NO PAIN EQUAL TO CHILDBIRTH. You try birthing a 10 and 9 lb baby—go ahead and then tell me about pain.
