Snippet of News

Word is that vasectomies are on the rise, so to speak, owing to the poor economy, or at least what people perceive as poor economic prospects. People (well, men people) are snip-sniping the chance of having too many kids -- unless you are a putative Octopop, though it seems to be women who yield to the child-multiplying imperative more than men. I could be wrong. Well, wait. I am wrong (those last three words being the hardest words to utter in the English language). What about Thomas Frazier, the Michigan Inseminator guy who just got thrown in jail or is about to be thrown in jail for refusing to pay child support for 14 kids he allegedly fathered by 13 different women? He is unemployed. (Except for one notable part of him, obviously.) The quandary is: how much money can he make in jail? (Hmmm. Don't answer that.) Not that he sounds like a fella who is very enterprising in all things not carnal. Vasectomy for him? Would seem reasonable and prudent, even if at our expense. Maybe the state of Michigan should bail him out, so to speak, and "own" 80% of his body. An 80%?ownership stake? Naw! Even 10% would probably do the trick.
