Prostate cancer, testicular cancer and suicide?

Are you sure those are the three biggest killers of men?

My husband had testicular cancer and its extremely survivable.

I think heart disease and stroke would probably be on that list before any of those things.

It’s big out here. I think it started down south in Australia. Many sports stars have been doing it for years. I am not collecting donations but I’m growing a mo because I can get away with it in November. I’m going for creepy, 70’s porn mo! Reckon I’ll pull that one off!

  • Heart Disease
  • Cancer
  • Unintentional Injuries
  • Stroke
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (LungDiseases)
  • Diabetes
  • Influenza and Pneumonia
  • Suicide
  • Kidney Disease

Interesting how different one country can be from another.

Already have one with a goatee, much like Mr Happy. Wish I could get the handlebars to grow how I like.

Yeah, it’s kind of a thing in Canada.

Mrs. Squirrel claims that not getting your dirty laundry properly into the basket will be the number one killer of certain men.
