My buddy Dave White sent me this from one of my favorite writers Dave Barry. I don't care if you think Dave is unhip or old school(Barry not White-although White is pretty hip.) I have always liked Dave Barry cause his writing makes me laugh out loud. Which is rare when it comes to something I've read. Anyway this is dang funny and good information for those us who will one day be over 50 years old. For me that is 569 days away but who's counting. Me that's who.
This colonoscopy story was first printed in the Miami Herald back in February but through the magic of Web 2.0 I bring it to you today.
Enjoy.
Dave Barry: A journey into my colon -- and yours
OK. You turned 50. You know you're supposed to get a colonoscopy. But you haven't. Here are your reasons:
1. You've been busy.
2. You don't have a history of cancer in your family.
3. You haven't noticed any problems.
4. You don't want a doctor to stick a tube 17,000 feet up your butt.
Read the rest here then come back.

Thanks Howard. Your timing for this article is just great (not) since I have the "pleasure" to get "hosed" in a week and a half.
For your information, the Canadian version of the "rocket fuel" is 4 liters vs. 1 liter in the US. I may take up Dave's suggestion and spike the solution with some Vodka. After all, what's the worst thing that can happen??? Get diarrhea????

Howard, I have never laughed
so hard over an article in a
long time. I did have a colonoscopy years ago and it
brought back all the funny
memories about the whole
procedure......you feel great
after you have it done and
really proud of yourself.
When they say everything is
ok you feel even greater. I
must now get after my three
to get one.
