So, do they make the small one bigger or the big one smaller? I hope all is working well. I enjoy your columns (and now your humor). Keep up the good work.

The day of the vasectomy had arrived. I was nervous for myself and the “guys”. Understandably so. As you are now aware, knives and needles anywhere near “the guys” produce an involuntary reflex akin to a cold day in the snow. Naked. Thus requiring a warming agent to be utilized to acheive the “relaxed state” needed to conduct the procedure. None-the-less, I was the last “case” of the day and I must say by the time Nurse Feelnotsogood arrived to “prep” me I was, indeed, a case. Her arrival into the room was sweeping and reminiscent of Scarlet O’hara’s grand entrance to the party. Only problem? She had looks that were most unfortunate and was the size of the Navy’s grandest battleship. To wit, she simply looked at me while making the move to put my feet in the stirrups and declared: “you don’t think the Dr. would have some sexy, voluptuous nurse prep you do you? Of course not! It would cause complications requiring services I do not render!” I sat stunned and, for the first time in days, at ease.

FYI…crushed ice in an ice pouch works much better than peas, okra, corn and the likes.

It’s quite possibly the first time in history (at least web 2.0 history) that a layperson has created the tag, “microsurgical variocelectomy”. Quite the milestone!

I’m a fan from Vancouver, BC who thoroughly enjoyed your book last year and had missed your SI.com columns. Glad I’ve discovered your current endeavour. Ironically, I’ve been thinking about doing a blog with sports essays — which is quite a diversion from my day job.

I look forward to reading more of your non-sports essays in the future.
