This is the dinner hour viewing?

Probably, with advertisements for feminine hygiene products thrown in during commercial breaks for good measure.

I’ve had two and concur. Nothing to it. The worst part is drinking the koolaide that cleans you out, but even that wasn’t as bad this time.

They were going to give Dan Rather one, but they couldn’t pull his head out so they could insert the scope.

Dress up as a gastroenterologist, go to a party with one of those, and offer to perform free, on premises colonoscopies.

Are they going in through his mouth? ;-)

They're actually searching for it.

I’m 48 and was talking to my Doctor about this just last week. He kept talking about ‘prep’ - I had no idea what it was until he told me. Some kind of liquid you drink that cleans you out - but good.

My impression is, once you drink it, you hover very close to the toilet - for good reason.

Once Obama care takes over we won’t have to worry about this anymore.

Must see TV!

If he had any guts he’d have them air the prep the night before!

I would like to recommend that everyone get this done also. My husband kept putting it off until he needed surgery for diverticulitis. After three surgeries and wearing a bag on his side for six months he would say the same.
