    And when it comes to nipples:
    1. Some people have three or more.
    2. All mammals have some, often more than two.
    3. Then there's baby's bottles.
    4. Plumbing.
    5. Grease guns.
    6. Some other stuff I'm sure.

    Less than half of all humans have two testicles. The overwhelming majority of all humans have two nipples.

    Even in the non-human animal world there have to be far more nipples than testicles.

    There's a preacher at Washington & State in Chicago who has been at that same corner, with what seems to be the same microphone, since at least 1986. I write at least 1986 because that is when I first was at that corner. That guy has spent a lot of cold days smiling and telling us to accept Jesus. A whole lot.

    And even in the intended context, not all people have testicles in the first place.

    The implication is a sexual microaggression. o_O

    1945's greatest hit:

    Hitler
    Had only one big ball
    Goering
    Had two but they were small
    Himmler
    Had something simmler
    While Herr Goebbels
    Had noebbels
    At all.

    (I dunno, its been with me since I first heard it at a campfire, and I just wanted to share. Misery loves company, sexual microaggression, and all that...)

    Back sometime in about the 10th Century while Homer was diligently dragging his feet penning The Iliad and The Odyssey Jethro was churning out parodies so they wouldn't starve! :notworthy:

    Homer Jones....New York Giants.....Wide Receiver

    In a 1965 game, he scored a touchdown and threw the football down hard into the end zone.

    And the "Spike" was born! :coffee:

    Only somebody else had already done it... Elbert Dubenion maybe?

    The High 5 was supposedly born on my birthday, at a Dodgers game I attended. One of my first concrete memories, tbh. (the home run, not the high 5)

    Made me look...from Wiki
    The maneuver is attributed to Homer Jones of the New York Giants in 1965.

    I don't recall Elbert Dubenion...he had some impressive stats.

    How about the so called, Mexican Wave. Most of the world saw first at the Mexico World Cup.

    That one really started at U Dub. By the Husky cheerleaders.

    I had thought it had started with either the Seahawks or Mariners, but U-Dub... I get partial credit, I guess.
