Actually, it’s fairly difficult to accurately kick a guy in the nuts. It’s a relatively small target. In addition, most adult men have developed reflexes to protect the groin, and a slight forward stoop and upper leg clench will help defend the Voonerables. Unless the kicker is well trained and agile, being able to connect the foot bone with the pelvic bone is kind of awkward, too. All things considered, it’s usually a better idea to kick someone in the knee, or even the shin, should one wish to make a point.

I’m required to get an HIV certificate every year for work (the country where I work requires it, not my job).
I get the blood work done at the clinic in my home town that my company recommends. They call me and leave a message a few weeks later saying to call them right away. It sounds urgent (at least that is how I hear it!). The message is left on a Friday late afternoon…
When I finally got a hold of them a year later (actually on Monday, it only seemed like a year) it was only to ask me if I wanted them to send a copy of the results to my home in addition to the company. Bastards. The secretary didn’t understand why I was upset. Idiot Bastards!
