OnTheRocks Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 So...I turned 40 last year and since my Dad and brother are Colon Cancer prize winners...I had to get my scope done early. Yesterday was my first time. And everything everyone ever told me was exactly right. The procedure itself is NO problem. In fact, I went under and have no memory of anything being done. It is the prep work,....drinking the "stuff" and flushing out your system that is miserable. Anyway....I am lying on the bed in recovery...my wife sitting in the chair next to me....and I am ripping one bomb after another. (A wonderful side effect of having your colon pumped full of air). I sounded like a large outboard motor. The Dr. comes in, and I rip one. My wife buries her face in embarassment. The Dr. says to me: "I guess you don't need me to pull your finger ?!?!".

Get Robin Williams DVD comedy special, he has a whole routine on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I had a friend who, after drinking the pre-procedure "stuff," tried to chase it with some Gin, to kill the taste. He threw up & had to start all over again! I understand that some doctors now have a "tasteless pill" that has the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been putting it off, but the fun side effects almost make it seem worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked that guy and he got my Dad clean of cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, have almost the same set up as you, but have the 46 inch DLP, the older HLN model as well. Three of my friends have now bought the same set up and wonder how they lived before without a HD Tivo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
