[Row, row, row your bits, gently down the stream...]

This is a true account, as best as I can recall it, from a Rancho Bernardo
local newspaper last week.

It seems that two friends where having a heated tennis game at the local tennis
club.  The match was close and in the end the victor jumps over the net and
extends his hand to the loser, his 67 year old friend.  To this action, his
friend brings his knee up sharply into the victors groin.  The victor doubled
over and passes out cold.  He is then taken to the hospital where they have to
remove one of his testicles.

The injured party then takes his ex-friend to court and is awarded $4500 to
cover medical bills.  His ex-friend was sentenced to stay 6 months at home,
only leaving the house to go to church on Sundays and to the doctor if he has
a note.


Makes me glad I never took up tennis.
