Another privacy-related shocker: The N.S.A. is collecting butt scrapings from every American. (Barack Obama: The unique rectal DNA patterns database is a vital tool to stop terror.) Some Americans are unhappy. (Woman: But I'm not a terrorist.) (Man 1: They don't look at all our butt scrapings. Only some. Until they hire more analysts.) But most are fine. (Soldier: Rectal data may have prevented as many as 54 possible plots against lives some of which could've been American!) (Man 2: With numbers like that. Who can argue?) (Man 3: Besides, it's supposedly authorized by a secret court of right-wing judges all picked by one guy!) (Man 4: Just more proof taht you have nothing to worry about it you're innocent- 'cept hemorrhoids!)

Well done, Ted. Be careful, though, one day you will draw a strip that hits some secret program right on the head, and we’ll be reading about you holed up in some Russian airport for months…..

Not in Canada. I have to get checked regularly because of a family history of colon cancer, and I pay exactly nothing out of pocket. It’s called single-payer universal health care.

Well done, Mr. Rall. And to Michael wme, thanks for the clarification. I will remember your wise words when I start to become doubtful.

I never said “free” — I said nothing out of pocket. Of course it’s not free. I pay provincial taxes.

Why? A colonoscopy does not guarantee immortality.
