Have you read the one about it?

Somewhere here Dave barry says:-
"In 1997, when I turned 50, everybody told me I should get a colonoscopy. I agreed that I definitely should, but not right away. By following this policy, I reached age 55 without having had a colonoscopy. Then I did something so pathetic and embarrassing that I am frankly ashamed to tell you about it."
He, also, says he was unconscious throughout.
WIMP
WHY? it doesn't hurt, no sedation, anesthetic or laughing gas necessary. In fact I had the room laughing without it most of the time.
