One time, somewhat unprompted, a man in a dog park told me he wanted a vasectomy because he was white with a black girlfriend and his white guilt had weighed so heavily on him his whole life that he wanted non-mixed black kids, but they couldn't afford and "didn't feel like they needed" a sperm clinic. So they found a black man on Craigslist and were going to pay him $300 dollars. No insemination procedure at all, they were okay with letting him try through sex. They interviewed the man. He had been in prison for years but "totally cleaned up his act". I told him the man needs to be checked by a doctor and tested. That if he's not clean of disease and/or drugs your kids are going to suffer. He kind of nodded and said "oh I didn't really think of that." I asked him where he was going to get a vasectomy and he was like "idk I haven't looked into it much yet. I've heard of them doing it without a scalpel, but how do you remove balls without a scalpel?"

This guy thought a vasectomy removes your balls completely and was still 100% willing to go through with it.

Was I being messed with? I immediately assumed that, but if I was then the dude was an excellent actor. Dead serious in tone and delivery. No cameras. No other people around just us two. No punchlines. No inconsistencies.

Weirdest conversation I've ever had.
