Get your vasectomy...

Yes, timing your vasectomy to coincide with the NCAA March Madness tournament is a thing.

“Get your vasectomy, then sit on the couch for 3 days watching sports–Doctors orders!”

That’s part of the pitch for the “Vas Madness” deal currently being offered by the Texas-based Urology Team. The special package costs $595 and includes an initial consultation and the surgical procedure that’ll stop you from getting anyone pregnant. But sorry sports fans, “consultations and vasectomies cannot be performed on the same day,” the promotion warns.

As bizarre as it sounds, the idea of getting snipped around the time of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament is not new. Vasectomy clinics report spikes in appointments around March Madness, presumably from men who feel that there’s no better period than tourney time to recover from the briefly painful procedure. The recovery involves little more than a few days of guilt-free sitting and icing one’s nether regions. And since you’re immobile for a spell thanks to doctor’s orders, why not see if there are any good games on TV?

One year, a clinic in Cape Cod even threw in free pizza as part of its March Madness-themed vasectomy package.

A man is walking painfully out of a clinic when he meets a friend coming in.
- "Good grief, man!" - says the friend, - "You look like you're in a world of hurt! What, if you don't mind my asking, did you have done here?"
- "Well, my wife absolutely insisted, so I had the doctor castrate me."
- "My God, man! That's really extreme!"
- "Yeah, I thought so too, but—well, my wife did insist, so. . . . If you don't mind my asking, what are you here for?"
- "Similar, I guess. My wife insists that I be circumcised."
- "Circumcise! THAT's the word she said!"

But remember to get permission from your bishop first. (As per the handbook of instructions)

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.
