Balls should represent weakness, because of how fragile they are (because if you even tap them, the man ends up rolling on the floor in pain).
Funny, funny stuff if you don't mind profanity from a comedian. |
Being female, I agree with his point.
For me, the profanity cutoff is "does this actually add to what the character/author/speaker is trying to express or is it simply gratuitous?"
