The case of the disappearing 2nd vasectomy

We all have laughed at friends in hilarious situations that you would give your left pinkie to not be in yourself. This weekend I had a bunch of friends over for some dinner and fondue and just plain fun. In between funny memories that worked your abs and stretched your smiles with laughter, one of my friends asked another "Remember that time when your dad got a vasectomy?"


The inquirer was one of the strangest people I know. Tall and sporty, Andrew, or Fife as most call him, is a Mormon runner who is not afraid of what people think. He can ask any question and perform any task if he wants to. While he was working the A&W drive through, for example: he listened to an apparently very attractive voice ordering her fast-food and decided, presumably by the sultry way she said "mozzarella sticks" that she was pretty enough to be asked on a date. So when she drove up to the window, before he could even give it a second thought, they agreed on a date. Which I might add she had to cancel for an AA meeting.


Sean, the person whom Fife posed his question to proceeded to answer with a quizzical Wow Fife look saying "Yeah I remember... before we moved here." Fife was sure this was wrong. "No I remember he was walking funny with a limp and couldn't move very well."
"He pulled his hamstring bad but he didn't have a second vasectomy" Sean said laughing at the absurdity of the question. But Fife wouldn't believe it.

He was so set on proving his point that he decided to call Sean's dad and ask himself. So he proceeded to call Sean's house and went into the other room while we all strained to hear the conversation catching little snidbits: "I was just curious..." "Well we were talking and I was trying to remember..." When Fife came back in the room he said "Well, she said you were right but it took her a long time to remember..." We all burst into laughter realizing it was Sean's mom who had answered the phone and been put through this awkward conversation.

But it only got better. As we were just resuming normal conversation, Sean's phone rang. He answered and we listened to the side of the call we could hear. "Hi dad... Yeah sorry I tried to dissuade him... Well it just kinda came up... He remembered when you pulled your hamstring... Yeah I'm sorry I told him not to... No it just randomly came up..." By the end of the fiasco, Fife was still not convinced that Sean's dad had only one vasectomy.
