I was going to ask Sean what provoked his, but decided to make a thread out of it.

Mine:

My friend Dan the aerospace engineer always asks too many questions. He over thinks everything. He was checking out my boat and I told him it had a SBC out of a Camaro.

He got all flustered and said "What? You can't run a car engine in a boat. Has it been modified by a marine shop with different heads or a different cam or something?" To which I replied "Whatever, it's a motor, it spins."

Which I thought was a rather eloquent definition for an engine.

Oh. im a martial arts instructor, and of all the people in the dojo i actually liked doing the iron body stuff, running your hangs through hot coal and sand, punching gravel, hitting my shins with ball peen hammers. So sensei as a joke said "Guy thinks pain is fun, hit him if you dont believe me" so, i never lose a fight, either i beat the crap out of the dude, or i get some good shots

That's called masochism and can be indicative of other underlying pathologies. . .

Not really, i did it for a purpose, and i had no choice about it, its not like i sit around and cut myself when im bored. That was training i benfited from, no different than lifting weights. And i have a really high tolerancy for pain, so what hurts you feels normal to me due to the nerve damage im sure.

I'm teasing. I know where you're coming from. In sorta similar ways I like the feeling of overcoming pain and exhaustion for endurance events, like a traithlon. I was a wrestler for a little while in HS, and a catcher in baseball for years and years, both of which involve quite a bit of getting knocked around and beat up, in a sort of fun way.

Yep, i dont like all pain, but there is just something about catching a shin to the head that says "Yeah you're still alive and its not gonna be that easy"

He didn't mean suicidal, he meant sex dirty.

I don't like pain, I like Vicodin.
