Are you a sissy?

Explained at last, the time-honored rite of passage for 2nd-grade boys everywhere....The Sissy Test!

Step 1: Rub a spot on the back of your hand with a pencil eraser 200 times.

Step 2: Immediately run your hand under ice-cold running water.

Step 3: If you flinch or yelp, you are a sissy.

Step 4: The next day, proudly show the scar on the back of your hand and assure any non-witnesses that you did not flinch or yelp.

ALTERNATE METHOD FOR ADULT MEN WHO ARE PUSHING MIDDLE AGE

Step 1: Get such dry skin in the winter that you absentmindedly scratch at the back of your hand all day.

Step 2: In the course of performing your morning toilet, run your hand under ice-cold running water.

Step 3: Flinch and yelp.

Where do you come up with this? And what self-respecting man doesn't moisturize? Especially in the winter!

Certainly the best of English gentlemen would be wearing spiffy little riding-type gloves anyways - to keep such scratching from happening in the first place. And you know English gentlemen are all sissies to begin with.

Ha ha...I remember the sissy test. How stupid kids can be. I have a friend that still has a nasty scar on her hand at 37 years old!
