I’m a grower, not a shower.

Like a frightened turtle withdrawing into his shell.  
… and yeah, a little to the left.

Well, I’ve noticed something alarming lately. It seems as if my balls are more cockeyed than normal, it seems that my egg sack has started hanging a bit more than usual and almost seems larger or distended…or, or, something. They used to hang closer to my body. Occasionally, I get momentary pains in my scrotum/testes. Since they are hanging lower they sometimes get vised between my legs when I am laying down or sleeping (I sleep on my side). Is this normal, does something like this happen to most men as they get a little older? I’ve heard that things start to sag as you get older, is this what they mean?

I…I…I wouldn’t know for sure.  
Oh. Um…  
I was referring to how our _capes_ are hanging.

I’m so sorry to have been unclear!

Pssst, you can get off the floor now, everyone has left. You are going to hurt your back doing that.

Some of us (well, me) are on dialup and can’t wait for a pdf to download before jumping to conclusions. At least I spent a minute or two trying (unsucessfully, mind you) to visualize how your quote could have possibly applied to, uh, the guys.

Anyhow, I don’t wear a cape. Afraid it will get me sucked into a jet intake when I’m not looking.
