Yes quite, That was just an attempt to set up some comedy on my part; not the last you'll see I'm afraid (the prefered reply, by the way, was; "Obviously sir, you have never seen my testicles") ANYWAY!

I recall one suspicion that these fellows would hunt giant cave bears just to prove their manhood. I'm not sure if I could get talked into doing that.
