‘I really wasn’t worried’: US man was getting vasectomy as earthquake struck
If one has to consider one of the most chaotic places to be during an earthquake, the operating table of your own vasectomy is surely up there on the list.
For Justin Allen from Horsham, Pennsylvania, this was his exact reality on Friday when the New York City metropolitan area and its outskirts were shaken by a 4.8 quake. The earthquake was centered near Lebanon, New Jersey, according to the US Geological Survey, though people reported feeling its effects across New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
“I thought maybe a train was passing by or it was just something that happens at that office, even when the doctor was like ‘I think this is an earthquake.’ I figured he was messing with me, but he had to stop because everything was shaking,” Allen told the Guardian.
Allen said the doctor operating on him “put the tools down for a moment”.
When I was in high school there was a barely perceptible quake that occurred the moment I whipped out my donger at a urinal.
I’m not saying it was the cause, I’m just saying the events coincided exactly and that our northern AB town had never before and never since registered seismic activity.
Must have done wonders for your confidence 😄
It was 20 years ago and I’m still talking about it even when nobody is asking so ya
That’s actually a great story and I will keep it close to my heart
