Sex or charity, boys. Pick one.

Because you can’t have both.

A new study says one of the side effects of testosterone is stinginess. In the research, a testosterone cream created a 27 percent decrease in charitable giving.

And thank you, Sis. Kimberley, for the link.

    1. I just stopped a cyclist here where I work and he told me a lot about those creams. But that’s another story.

  1. Those who understand the scientific method know that the publication of a new study is the beginning of more investigation into the science that is published–it is not yet accepted scientific theory.
    It is unfortunate that the media publishes their comments about the studies as if they are accepted fact.

    1. Just for my own edification, if a study is “peer-reviewed,” is that a step on the road to accepted scientific theory? I honestly don’t know.

  2. A friend sent this–thought I would pass it on for some humor or consternation or whatever!

    1. Some of it’s funny, some of it’s consternating because it’s based on unfair truths (wages, etc.), and some of it’s out of date. We all know a lot of women who didn’t change their last names; many of us can open our own jars; and it’s hard to imagine not knowing which way a nut turns (“righty-tighty!”).

      1. If I can’t open my own jar, I just go get a new jar. But the world is your urinal is still funny.

      2. Right! Yesterday while helping me with a little last-minute gardening, my almost-4-year-old neighbor told his mom he had to — y’know. She just sent him off to the back of the yard.

        1. Four houses ago, when I was first married for the second time, I looked out the kitchen window to see my son and step-son giggling and peeing on a tree out back. It remains one of my fondest memories.

    2. I am now going to share this with every man I know. I saw a shorter version of this (I remember because “the world is your urinal” stuck with me, of course) a while back. Thank you for this.

  3. “Okay, since we’ve sunk to urinal-humor, why does it have to be peeing ON something?”

    In the words of British mountaineer George Mallory–“Because it’s there.”

    1. “In the words of British mountaineer George Mallory–”Because it’s there.” ”

      Sooooooo — let’s subject it to our waste “stream”?

  4. My son would get out of the pool, pee against it, then return to the pool. Thanks for reminding me of one of my fondest memories, as well! The other (a bit more forgettable) was passing the open bathroom door and doing a double take as my brother (a tad drunk at the time) peeing into the waste basket, opposite the bowl. I’m sooo glad I don’t drink!

    1. I’m still laughing at the part about your son peeing and then jumping into the middle of it. Aren’t little boys grand?
