Once you start that dastardly work thing, your gaming time gets seriously eaten into, especially when you don't have a wife/mother/servant to clean up after you and are left with the option of housework vs smelling like a tramp's pocket.
Anyway, a bloke I used to work with had a vasectomy
*cue for all blokes on the forum cross their legs and wince*
The point is, he was off work for 5 weeks. On returning, I quizzed him about him time off. He said that he was in pain for day or two, then after that, it only caused him pain if he moved in a certain way. So he spent five weeks, sitting in bed with his legs spread, playing Playstation. And being paid for the privalege, due to the wonders of sick leave.

So this got me thinking of an underhand way to maximise my gaming time. It goes a little like this....
You get a vasectomy, spend a few weeks off work, maximising your thumb activities, then after a couple of months, you change your mind, and have a vasectomy reversal operation. Bingo! Another few weeks off work, sitting on your pimply bum. Of course, the reversal operation has quite a low success rate, so it might need a few attempts i,e. more time off.
Finally, when it's successful, you change your mind again, and the cycle repeats! I reckon I could get 50% or more of my working year off this way.

The only minor setbacks are that you must be male, not be too fussed about fathering children, or having men in green paper dresses chop up your freshly shaved boys bits.

Am I a genius?

"no jumping around for a month"

Heck, I've lasted 28yrs without jumping around.
Not because it will ache my plums, but there really is no need to jump about unless being shot at and made to dance.

Like a cowboy.

Bah! I only had 4 days off when I had mine!

A couple of days of discomfort, then no jumping or running for a month, and you'll be fine!

That's the beauty of my plan. You can have it done on the NHS!

What a plan. Must put that in my "To Do" list. How much does a Vasectomy cost? More than a PS game?
