Have you ever tried Javelin throw? 

[Reli23PD]

one of my friends was practicing with her javelin for a track and field competition and my other friends decide to play soccer/football at the exact same field as my jav friend. So, the jav thrower decides instead of just throwing the jav that she will try to hit one of the soccer/football guys. so she takes her aim at my friend and the next thing he knows is that there is a javelin in between his legs. another step forward and he would not be able to have kids :S
