More News That Sounds Like A Joke

First came the wedgie. Then there were Indian Burns. Back when I was in middle school, the "funny" thing for kids to do was giving each other purple nurples. But times have changed. Now kids are into 'Sack Tapping'. It's the latest fad in schoolyard violence... a boy will try to slap or flick the groin of another boy to inflict discomfort or pain. Unfortunately, this game can cause serious, permanent injury. Dr. Scott Wheeler, a pediatric urologist in Minnesota, says he is seeing more instances of young boys coming in with major damage to the testicles because of a "tap" that hit too hard. The trauma sustained by sack tapping can be severe enough to rupture a testicle, an injury that can require surgery or even the amputation of the testicle. I don't know about you guys, but this doesn't sound like fun to me.
