Colonoscopies

Dave Barry, a Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist for the Miami Herald, wrote an article on this.   In true Dave Barry fashion it cracked me up and is a must read for those of us over 50! I can appreciate the humor...because I've had a few of these in the last couple of years.


Someone appended the comments below to the original Dave Barry article when it was forwarded to me...and these REALLY had me laughing out loud!

A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:

• "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!"
• "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
• "Can you hear me NOW?"
• "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
• "You know, in Arkansas , we're now legally married.'"
• "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
• "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..."
• "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
• "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!"
• "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
• 'You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"
• "God, now I know why I am not gay."

And the best one of all:
"Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?"
