QOTD.

From Michael Lewis, who, I'd wager, writes better about a wider variety of topics than any journalist on Earth:

Two months earlier, in the pre-interview, during which it was determined that whatever I may have been told by my wife or the state police, I was under no legal obligation to be sterilized, the doctor explained that California law required a cooling off period between consultation and operation. On that chilly afternoon, he told me many other things about vasectomies but somehow failed to mention that they began with a good ball-shaving from a woman who didn't look you in the eye, or say a word beyond the bare minimum.

Kudos for the headline, Slate. That's a keeper.
