Oof. [ He says it incredibly deadpan. No way any air was possibly knocked out of him from the nudge. ] You are correct. I have had to become remarkably good at protecting my genitals, however.
[ Everyone tries to punch them. It actually makes it easier for him to predict how fights go so maybe it's a good thing but also. Ech. ]
