Today marks day two of the second round of the NCAA tournament Luckily spring break starts later today and you'll be able to watch the coverage without having to go to class, do homework, study or take tests. But not everyone has the luxury of being on vacation and catching all the action and the upsets.

If you want it reversed,you would have to fork over some cash,and there is a possibility that the reversal may not succeed.
I'm not condoning getting a vasectomy, but this is a much better excuse than saying I'm sick or my grandma died, even though she might have and I'm sorry for the death. It's a legitimate excuse because you need to be on bed rest, but I know I won't be getting one any time soon.
