Vasectomy campaign targets March Madness

CHICAGO - A suburban Chicago urology practice says college basketball's March Madness tournament is the perfect time for men to get a vasectomy.

Doctors at 21st Century Urology in Orland Park have launched a two-week ad campaign to induce men to schedule the procedure during the days before the first two weekends of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, the Chicago Press Release Service reports.

The doctors say picking that time slot for a vasectomy will allow basketball aficionados to stay home and watch all the games.

All vasectomy patients will receive a free pizza to snack on and a bag of frozen peas to help with any swelling, says Dr. Tony Mammen, one of the urologists who set up the ad campaign.

The promotion offer applies to men who schedule the procedure on March 18, 19, 25 and 26.

Those dates coincide with the first two weekends when games are played virtually non-stop.

Kill two birds with one knife? An Oregon clinic is urging me to plan their vasectomies around the NCAA men's basketball tournament, saying they can use the recovery time to watch the games.

OR Do It Yourself

Just like the pill, RU486, etc... messing with your reproductive organs has effects that are not measured.

Yea. It has made life immeasurable better and worry free. What do middle aged and older men, with all the kids they want, need fertility for again?

Is degenerate gambling genetic? If so, maybe some of these clods that would schedule this sort of nonsense based on a basketball tournament have no business further reproducing.

Frozen peas and March Madness. I bet that is the first time those two terms have been used in the same sentence.

You know what the definition of a real man is?

One that jogs home from his vasectomy.

My vasectomy story is pretty funny.

My wife was 8 months pregnant with our 4th child and I had just had the big “V” on a Friday and we had tickets to a professional football game on Sunday. We went to the game and had to walk a looooooooong ways downhill to the stadium then we had to go a looooooooong way up to our nosebleed section seats. So far, doin’ OK.

After the game that looooooooong downhill walk was a looooooong uphill walk and now we aren’t doin’ so good and it’s an hour drive home. We must have been quite the sight, me walking like I had a stick up my butt and the wife next to me 8 months pregnant!!! LOL!!!

Anyway, we finally pull into the driveway and my “twins” are ON FIRE and my sweet, lovely wife says.....”honey, will you please go pick up the kids at the sitters house”? The “sitters house” is 45 minutes away (of course the opposite direction from where we just came from). Of course, I said....”sure, I’ll go”. Well, I made it about 5 minutes from my house and I saw a Taco Bell and screeched into the drive thru and ordered a LARGE COKE WITH LOTS OF ICE and stuffed it right between my legs and I don’t remember even drinking a drop but boy, did that feel good.
