If you believed Patrick's population control post last week, the only real way we're going to prevent the myriad of end-of-the-world scenarios humanity is currently facing is to stop having so many freakin' kids. For guys, this means you can a) wear condoms and cross your fingers, b) drop helpful reminders to your girlfriend so she takes her birth control (and accept that you'll be single forever), or c) seal the deal and get a vasectomy.

Assuming you're ready to take the plunge and enjoy the many benefits sterilization, now might be a good time to schedule your appointment -- or, at least that's the word from physicians at the Oregon Urology Institute.
Their theory is that, chances are, you're spending the majority of this month sitting on your backside, glued to the tube watching March Madness. Seeing as you're more or less immobile until college basketball has crowned a new champion, you might as well be recovering from minor surgery.

My favorite part of this off-the-wall scheme is the Institute's radio ad, which states: "Get your vasectomy at Oregon Urology Institute the day before the tournament starts. It's snip city." Plus, the ad promises a recovery packet full of sports magazines, free pizza delivery and a pack of frozen peas (which you're supposed to stick on your whatsis to ease the pain).

Sounds crazy, but the clinic was packed on Wednesday (the day before the tournament started), and is already half full for next Wednesday (the day before round two begins). What do you think guys, ready for a snip?
