This is the very defintion of tough guy: 'yeah, we knew it was ruptured but I decided to play on and go to the hospital later'.
Took several shudders to get over that. I once had a cricket box split, deform, and on reforming, take a pinch of testicle with it. How the fook he played on with a ruptured testicle I will never know as I thought I was going to die and all it did was split the sack a little.

Mate of mine's only got one. Doesn't bother him at all. Says he was offered a prosthetic, but thought WTF? Very proud of the one he's got left - he's always talking about it.Originally posted by doodab View Post
Edit:
Doesn't 'hard on' come under 'hard man' in the dictionary?
