PAIN

It's kind of a popular thing to debate the most extreme level of pain that a person can experience.  It usually comes down to a tossup between the labor of childbirth and the agony of kidney stones.   The man's view is necessarily based only on one of the contending pains, but any woman who has experienced both childbirth and kidney stones  has a sound basis for comparison. I am now in that category, but for intensity of pain, I'm leaning toward the time I ran over my bare foot with the vacuum cleaner.
