Welcome to the 236th edition of the Thread About Nothing.

So my doctor asked me, "How long ago since your last colonoscopy." I looked away like a school boy who hadn't done his homework and said, "Umm...Just a few years ago." I knew full well it had been over 10 years ago and that I was due for another.

I had the procedure done a couple of days ago and much to my relief, the anesthesiologist put me completely to sleep and when I woke up it was all over. I was lying on a bed in the recovery room, enjoying a glass of orange juice. I felt relaxed and without the least bit of grogginess. Way better than 10 years ago when I was doped up but still conscious and highly uncomfortable throughout the procedure.

So if you're a person of a certain age and putting off this potentially life saving procedure because of how dreadfully uncomfortable it used to be, don't worry about it. Nowadays it's easy.

Read these rules top to bottom.

1) No politics, no personal attacks, no excessive swearing, no porn, no graphic violence/ gore.

2) If Mr. Wells or any other moderators or editors ask you to drop something, just let it go. Please don't argue. It won't end well.

3) If there is a problem email macgregorwells@gmail.com and we'll try to work things out.
