Only in America: A snip and a slice
A Massachusetts clinic offers a free pizza to any man who signs up for a vasectomy — and more in our collection of strange revelations about the nation

On the first day of the promotion, the office was swamped with men eager to go under the knife for the $500 to $700 procedure, then recover with their free one-topping pizza and some NCAA Basketball Tournament on the clinic's TVs. We wanted to "improvise and be different," says practice administrator Evan Cohen. "It's been crazy."
