Guts or Balls, a lesson to be learned

[tonyp]

I'm pretty sure this has appeared on here before but, hey, it's a true story!

We've heard colleagues referring to people with Guts, or with Balls.
Do they, however, know the difference between them?

There is a medical distinction between Guts and Balls.

Here's the official distinction; straight from the British Medical Journal: Volume 323; page 295.

GUTS - Is arriving home late, after a night out with the boys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the Guts to ask: " Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the boys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the Balls to say: "You're next, Chubby."

I trust this clears up any confusion.

Bt the way ..

Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome; both are fatal!
