A real man wouldn't mind being stabbed. He'd laugh and shake it off and amputate his own leg.


I amputated both my legs above the knee last night with a dull butter knife, and cauterized the wounds with with a Bic lighter.

@chai2,

When I've said to someone (either male or female, I don't discriminate) I mean it as it "Look, if I can handle this, you can too"


Sorry but the use of the word 'discriminate' there is completely hilarious.

@vikorr,
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't figure that one out.

@maxdancona,
Ah Hah...I was only looking at the quote - I should have looked further back to the 'man up'. I don't know that I find it hilarious, but it is amusing.

@chai2,
It's just a word play...not particularly funny, more just a little amusing.

I don't discriminate (between male or female) who I say 'man up' to...'man up' technically should be used discriminatoringly.

@The Pentacle Queen,
Well, waiting for that reply was anticlimatic.

First thing I heard about gender was: boys don't cry. I never really passed that one... :-)
