There's a question almost every man has before a vasectomy.
Most don't ask it directly. They work up to it, or they bury it inside a different question, or they wait until the end of the appointment when they're almost out the door. Sometimes they don't ask it at all -- they just carry it home and look it up at midnight when nobody's watching.
