Urology Institute offers SOME special for March Madness Week!

Want to take some time off during March Madness week?

Well the Springfield ore. Oregon Urology Institute has come up with an idea that will gives guys a very valid excuse to sit around watching college basketball games.

Get a vasectomy.

That’s right. They are suggesting that it’s the perfect time to get a vasectomy.

“When March Madness approaches you need an excuse … to stay at home in front of the big screen,” the clinic’s radio ad says. “Get your vasectomy at Oregon Urology Institute the day before the tournament starts. It’s snip city.”

Men generally need two to four days to recover from the procedure and it seems that men are taking the suggestion seriously. The administrator of the Institute has already reserved dozens of appointment slots for March 19th, the day before the first NCAA tipoffs. He’s also got at least a dozen appointments set for March 26th – just before the tournaments second week begins.

A local sports radio station has been broadcasting the clinics ads and they’ve promised to send each patient a recovery kit that includes sports magazines, a bag of frozen peas (for relief) and free pizza delivery.

So who’s in?

That scarf makes her look older!

Last week my wife found the Petsmart bandanna that we were given when we had our Labrador Retriever puppy groomed in January.

I guess she wanted to see if Midnight would tolerate the bandanna on her head like a scarf. To our surprise the scarf stayed on for about an hour before Midnight had either had enough of was sick of us laughing at her.

Doesn’t she look totally pathetic? She reminds me of the elderly women in our neighborhood (mostly Macedonians and Greek) who often wear scarves on their heads.

Here’s another shot:

Poor thing. We won’t do that to her again. Promise.

Con artists and suckers

You’ve all heard those stories about people selling swamp land and so on …

Well rather than sell some sucker a bridge, a California man – Steven Ferguson – made off with $5 million dollars when he sold off a waste treatment plant in New Jersey.

the smooth talker promised huge returns on the investments that his soon to be victims thought was going to be a waste treatment plant.

He has since been sentenced to 11 years in prison and ordered to pay $6 million in fines.
