Pickles by Brian Crane for February 29, 2024

This one made me laugh out loud.

Make sure to take a change of underwear!

And just when you think you’re done… nope, there’s a sudden surge.

He’s already made quite a splash, Nelson!

Be one with the machine Earl!

Did you have Opal pull your finger when you were passing?

Been there, dung that.

the sound of Flubber

When they did that to me, I did most of my passing the night before. But maybe Earl’s a little slow…

SNORT !

Been there, done that. They claimed to be out of teeshirts but offered me a backless hospital gown.

They pump you full of gas to expand your colon. The they won’t let you leave until you fart. All the nurses cheer for you when you finally let one.

Earl is more than ready to put this test in the rear-view mirror.

How nice: he’s passed and he hasn’t even taken the test yet.

If only all tests were that way.

After my last “cleanse”, I vowed NEVER AGAIN ! I’m 74, and if I get colon cancer, I want to be kept mostly pain-free, and I’ll go when it’s my time to catch Heaven’s Bus. I helped my Dad with cleanses until he was 85, and that’s when he made the same decision.

I ,for one, could not believe how much “stuff” was in there!

Earl has been so diligent that his colon is now a semicolon! :D

And probably most of the night before.

“Gramma, what did he mean about a ‘screen door’?”

After my last colonoscopy I won the crepitation contest. Lord Windesmear and Paul Boomer never had a chance. I blew them away.

It’s the kind of test where they ask probing questions.

Plenty of time to study for the test.

Bill Engvall’s colonoscopy bit…https://www.youtube(dot)com/watch?v=BKbx24pZqvs

This cartoon is just as lousy as Buckles , no puppy ?

Earl is no longer full of IT

I like the part at the end when we let the air outta the balloon

NASTY.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The easiest test in the world to go through and the worst in the world to get ready for.

A gentleman passed out on the baggage claim carousel. He eventually came around.

….and passing…. and passing….and passing….

Bathroom humor not acceptable.

a friend of mine decided to follow the directions HIS way. mixed up the solution about two hours before heading to his appointment and drank it down. the clinic was NOT pleased and he had to reschedule. AND he had a very very interesting day. js

LOL!

I’ve never had a colonoscopy. Before anyone gets near my butt, I expect flowers and a nice dinner first!

It is a horrible passing.

I have prostate cancer, had lot’s of radiation treatments. The radiation caused skin damage, which caused infections. Had to have emergency surgery because of one of the infections, which would not heal because of the skin damage. Had several surgeries to try to close the open wound. Every surgery had to do a colonoscopy prep. The last surgery, which fixed my open wound, did the prep, only to have the surgery canceled because the anesthesiologist had to go to an emergency heart surgery. Had to do the prep AGAIN 6 days later. Was such a pain in the *.

I take the liquid form with icky powder. Takes forever to work but once it starts, hang close to the bathroom.

LOL! Good one!

Me too…………….

The kid has sinus problems

So now Earl’s pooped out.

At least he’s not testy about it.

Been there; done that.

“Sorry, it just sort of slipped out.”

You’ll pass, but just by the seat of his pants.

And, Earl, better have a seat in the doctor’s bathroom first, just in case.

More likely all night and he should be walking more gingerly.

Kinda like telling kids about the birds and the bees for the first time…only different!

I’m still not sure why Earl agreed to have a colonoscopy. He seems too old to have the procedure.

Yuck! Ugh!

When I was asked if I had diarrhea, I told the nurse, “not yet”. Took her less than a second to realize what I had said.

LOLOL

I don’t remember having nurses and a doctor wait for me to fart. Maybe I did it while I was still out cold, or my doctor doesn’t require it. It certainly happened that evening at home after the test – I had forgotten about that side effect. I consider a colonoscopy to be a minor pain in the butt, and also a chance for a very good nap. I have had much worse things done to me that hurt a lot more. Things like nerve conduction tests. I would take two colonoscopies a week over those, but they don’t bother some people much at all. Plus, no nap!

Oh I love this one – can so relate.

He’s better’n me. The colonoscopy wasn’t bad, but the prep wiped me completely out. Never again. I’ll just die – it’ll be lesss drama.
