The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

Ladies.....Quit Laughing.

Actually, it was 1933 so only 59 years. Give us guys some credit.

So if you had 'D-ck for Brains' you were way ahead of the game.

...Or perhaps they were just trying to educate the fairer sex that a headache isn't the end of the world and needn't get in the way of more enjoyable pursuits which perhaps deserve a higher priority

When growing up I lived on the same street as Gordie Howe. I played with his kids although they were younger than I. When I was 15 years old Gordie's 10 year old son Mark was a better skater than I, so was his 11 year old brother Marty.

One thing we all had in common, back then, is we didn't wear no stinking helmets. The goalies didn't wear no prissy masks.

Canadians and Americans close the the Canadian border were men not wimps. Goalies and defense-men didn't have teeth and that was the way of the world.

You could walk or skate across the frozen Detroit river to Canada in a few minutes and we played hockey on both sides of the border almost daily in the winter time.

I played semi pro hockey at 16 years of age and smoked cigars, drank whiskey and cavorted with women of the night in the locker room after the games. Are you trying to tell me that I was not the flower of Canadian intelligentsia for not wearing a helmet? For shame!

Actually I look more like Gump Worsley.
