Vasectomy-reversal? People advertise for that?

Yep. I have NO IDEA what the hell is up with it - who's sponsoring these billboards, or who their target market is, or anything. They're all put up by the same entity, though, apparently headquartered in Houston. Saw 'em last time I did a round-the-country cruise, too. Off-the-charts surreal.

To update: apparently the billboards are purchased by some doctor in Houston. His shtick is that (a) most folks who want said reversal just don't know whom to turn to about such things and (b) he offers money-back guarantees, which others presumably fail to do. And billboards in the middle of rural nowhere are fairly cheap, on the whole. Unconventional as all hell, but I guess it makes a sense of sorts.

Sounds like you had fun. :) And congratulations again on the whole, y'know, Thing That Made Honeymoon Possible In The First Place!

We and our respective spouses will have to get together sometime.

Thanks! Yes, it was tons of fun. Can't get enough of that whole "aimless travel to points hither and yon" thing... and apparently my significant other enjoys my presence enough not to want to slaughter me by trip's end. :)

And yes, I am all in favor of a grand Congregation Of Hanging Out Fun transpiring at some point in the suitably near future....
