Turnstiles

SpeedoGuy: Ever notice that turnstiles in amusement parks, public transit centers, theaters, concerts, etc *seem specifically designed to bash and impact directly on the nads? Why is this?

"Not I," said the Blackthorne. Maybe I'm shorter or my torso's set differently, but the turnstiles usually get me at the end of my abs, almost over my bladder. The boys are fine.

I'm 5'6" ... Turnstiles hit me at right about the bellybutton area.

I'll agree- right in the nads! * Particularly the ones at my local grocery store, which are also designed to poke you in the ass if you try to back up after they have snagged your jewels. *Maybe this is the only thrill some people can get...

fitdude: I resemble that remark. :D Nuts get it in the front and bubble butt get in from behind. Cheap pleasure makers for me. Hehe.

jaimie: Me too.

7x6andchg: Dee and DMW-

Perhaps we have found a benefit to being shorter males - I, too, get the bellybutton to bladder area when going through them...

Steve26: I've learned, after being bashed in the nuts one too many times, that it's best to shuffle through turnstiles kind of sideways, or at a slight angle so at least I'm pushing it with my hipbone. There's one in the building I work in that's particularly evil ... it often remains "locked" even when your ID card has been properly swiped. Yeow!!

Steve ;)

And I, being taller (and more hung), walk through an airport turnstile when I'm going to Bangkok.

Jon, I thought you would get knee-capped when going through a turnstile! :D

tott666: I once saw this very tall and skinny guy who walked OVER the "arms" of a turnstile. :o

Hmmm ... was that guy, by any chance, an American Indian? ;)

Depends. He couldn't be Hopi, for example.

I'm actually short for being from the Great Plains, probably from my Mexican ancestry. Men usually end up at just under two meters on the Ridge. (In fact, basketball's popular for just this reason.)

SpeedoGuy: LOL!

I agree with Steve26.

I've learned a semi-sideways hip sneak through the damned things. Youch!

Two meters?! Wow. I'm not good with metric, but that would make your 10.5" look short. Oh, wait, maybe you mean height. :)

Seriously folks, I just walk under turnstiles.
