A rare serious post from me...about profanity.

73. "If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding."

So, who did say it? Partial credit goes to New York standup comedian Sheng Wang, who delivered a lengthier version of the joke on the 28 January 2011 episode of Comedy Central Presents:

A friend said to me, “Hey you need to grow a pair. Grow a pair, Bro.” It’s when someone calls you weak, but they associate it with a lack of testicles. Which is weird, because testicles are the most sensitive things in the world. If you suddenly just grew a pair, you’d be a lot more vulnerable. If you want to be tough, you should lose a pair. If you want to be real tough, you should grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.

And it appears that Wang’s routine borrowed heavily from a bit by comedian Hal Sparks, “Pussy Is Tougher,” which aired on Showtime in 2010.
