What a completely lame “joke”. I’d fire someone who pulled something like that at my company.

That looks nothing like the pictures I got from my last colonoscopy. Oh, you mean the planet...

Who the heck writes this stuff? A joke about a physical exam paired with a planet name which triggers jokes among adolescents? Is the writer an adolescent? The writer is probably liberal.

At least I know how to find Uranus with either hand, and in the dark, circling Uranus looking for Klingons.

But would you know Uranus from a hole in the ground?

“Uranus mostly has hydrogen and helium in its atmosphere, but it looks blue due to significant amounts of methane. “

Barney Frank had his examined last night. There's a difference, Bawney Fwank creates an echo.

Fry: Did you build the Smelloscope?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: No, I remembered that I'd built one last year. Go ahead, try it. You'll find that every heavenly body has its own particular scent. Here, I'll point it at Jupiter.
Fry: Smells like strawberries.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Exactly. And now, Saturn.
Fry: Pine needles. Oh, man, this is great... hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus.
Leela: I don't get it.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Fry: Oh. What's it called now?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Urrectum. Here, let me locate it for you.
Fry: No, no, I, I think I'll just smell around a bit over here.
