Free Pizza With A Vasectomy!

Sometimes I try to bring the unusual, the peculiar and the macabre here on David's Musings. I like to possibly bring forth a smile or even a tear or two from you. I might get both a smile and a tear with this latest story.  Of course, this story should only be interesting to men. Urologists in Sandwich, Massachusetts are offering men a free large pizza with one topping (how kind of them) with a vasectomy, to kick off March Madness in Sandwich. Now, before you ask, why would they do such a thing, consider that March is the busiest time of the year for vasectomies in the Cape Cod area (of which Sandwich is the oldest town).  They offered no explanation as to why March is such a busy month.  I am not willing to wager a guess either. But, I gather that March Madness is even more widely followed in the northeast than possibly any other part of the country.  So, in order to make an even bigger profit, the urologists plan to make a promotion of a free large pizza to coincide with basketball's biggest month.  Plus, while you recover, you can watch March Madness on their TVs!  How can you turn down such an offer?  Well, I think I can. It will have to be a lot better promotion than a large pizza with only one topping to get me to go under the "clip, clip" of a urologist.  I have heard it is a painful procedure. 

Now, if they were to sweeten the deal with two toppings on the pizza...well, no, they couldn't offer enough toppings for me to undergo that procedure.  Pass.

Former IED Dog May Be Put Down By Marine Corp

Former Marine Corporal Megan Leavy served two tours of duty in Iraq with a German Shepard named Sergeant Rex.  They both searched for IEDs which was the major contributor of deaths of U.S. troops in Iraq and in Afghanistan.  Both Meagan and Sergeant Rex were severely wounded when an IED went off near them.  Megan is recuperating from her injuries as is Sergeant Rex.  But, time is running out on the noble German Shepard who served his country with distinction.  Sergeant Rex is ten years old, injured and can no longer serve.  The Marine Corp, as is tradition, wants to put down this dog whose usefulness to the Marine Corp is at an end.  Megan wants to adopt the dog.  But, like anything else to do with the federal government, red tape is getting in the way.  The fear is that Sergeant Rex may be put to sleep before Megan can adopt him.  That is a real fear now for a dog that took on the dangerous task of seeking IEDs in war-torn Iraq. 

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York (of whom I have criticized in the past) is working to expedite the paperwork to save Sergeant Rex before he is put down.  Time is running out for this dog.  I know how slow the military can be.  Saving a dog's life is not a top priority for the Marine Corp.  But, this dog took an IED that could have killed other soldiers.  It seems only fair that the dog should be allowed to live with the Marine who cared for him and served with him in Iraq for two tours.  Hopefully, I can report an update on Sergeant Rex getting the necessary paperwork done so he can live out the rest of his life with Megan.
