Stone me that hurts
Mark Pilgrim: Please take this opportunity to relate amusing anecdotes about your vasectomy.
- There’s nothing like the feeling that you’ve been kicked in the spuds, especially when that feeling lasts for two days. And I don’t mean “there’s nothing like it” in any kind of good way, either.
- When your daughter runs over and jumps in your lap, try and feel suffused with the joy of being a parent rather than, say, screaming.
- The worst job in the world is being the chap who sits by patients’ heads and talks to them while the operation is going on. I mean, what do you say? Conversation is strained at the best of times.
- The last word you want to hear from the dude with the knife is “Oops”.
Weirdly, I was having a conversation about said procedure with a couple of friends at lunch the other day, and a couple of ‘interesting’ stories came up:
1. Man sitting having breakfast a few days after the op. Daughter says “Daddy, have you spilled strawberry jam on the floor?” He hadn’t - he’d managed to rip the stitches on hit scrote…… ouch.
2. Other friend was told he needed to ‘clear his system’ 25 times in the 3 weeks following the op…..
