Balls are far less important than brains. Ask any woman. Men are usually the only ones to make that mistake due to some perceived masculinity conflict/question. It is without a doubt tough guy syndrome to jump a bike thief who is not actually attacking you. Anyone with a critical brain who has spent considerable time around real violence and its consequences knows how foolish it is to escalate a non-violent crime to violence when there are a myriad of better, more effective ways of dealing with the problem. "Tough guys" simply convince themselves that it is "necessary" to do so for whatever their personal justification. More often than not they fall back on the "balls" and "wussy" arguments as self-justifications and to boost their own egos (no I'm not trying to bad mouth you....). Fact of the matter is using your brain and "ending " the criminal w/o violence is WAY SMARTER than risking personal death or prison. Save your moments of physical affirmation for when they are truly warranted like stepping up for someone who is getting attacked.....

Oh, and careful taking your life lesson cues from a comedian no matter how funny he may be...
