Okay, so this curling thing...let me get it straight:

Some guys walk out on the ice slide their stones down the ice. Some other guys sweep the ice in front of the guys who are sliding on their stones.

I guess the guy who can slide the furthest and has the biggest stones wins, huh?

Don't they get a condition known medically as "Frozen Scrotum"? Do they freeze or otherwise harden their parts before sliding on them? How do they explain the frostbite to their partners or, for that matter, to the guys in the bar? And what happens if one of the sweepers sweeps too enthusiastically and hits the guy in the stones with his broom?

Anyway, sliding down the ice on your reproductive organs seems downright chancy to me.
