Rubbing Shoulders...

[MikeG.]

So he can kick you...D'uh!

Fair enough, but how is my cup preventing me from being kicked?

Mike - being a cricketer, I would have thought you wouldn't need a "cup" being explained... - He's not talking "mugs with a handle" type cup... :roll:

 

[MikeG.]

If he means box, why noy say box instead of cup? Strictly, it should be an "abdominal protector", even though it was nothing to do with the abdomen, and offered precious little protection.

Of course, if I had been a female cricketer, it wouldn't have been a box, it would have been a man-hole cover.

Hmmm, just as I got the notification about this thread, I thought "It's a box not a cup ... D'oh! On me then

Yeah, having worn a box in karate I often wondered why I bothered - If I ever got a kick down there, I doubled over from the pain anyway...All that extra edging :roll:

 

[MikeG.]

That's nothing!

I once had one split up the middle, open up, and trap a nice fold of skin. By the time I had got keeping gloves off to start fiddling there was no-one left standing on the field..........they were all rolling around on the ground laughing, as I verged on the edge of unconsciousness!

Someone still managed to call out the usual..........."don't rub them..............count them".

Hilarious.

Oh god that's bad. At school there were two boxes to be shared. Needless to say wearing was not popular until someone caught a fast ball just so. After that everyone used one - the sensation of stuffing a hot sweaty box down your trousers is one that never fades. The position of opening pair was much desired if only for the pleasure of a new and cool box

Was that better, or worse, than trapping a foreskin in a zip? I daren't think to hard on that :shock:
Hopefully you didn't hear the old acorn "Doc, take the pain away, just leave the swelling"?

One short?

To quote the wonderful Mrs. Heyhoe-Flint (although possibly apocryphal).

Tony,

you didn't read my next line!!

I know she used the term, but I don't think that she was first.

Sighs..If you want to be pedantic about it, but I know it as a cup as do a large proportion of the worlds population. I keep my cup in a box.

[MikeG.]

Well, you live and learn. I used one for over thirty years all over the world, and never, once, ever heard it called a cup.

Now I know.

Whilst we are on the subject of pain down under, a mate of mine once zipped up his foreskin in his zip whilst down the pub, it was a true Dr Pepper moment, hospital trip and 5 stitches, made the local paper.
