"Ouch!"

Look carefully at the football in this picture. It's one of those rock hard plastic balls that if you were trying to catch a bullet pass, and you let it slip through your hands, and it hit you in the chest, no matter how old you were you had the urge to start crying because rubbing the point where the ball nearly punctured your chest was useless.
