Re: Colonoscopy - A musical
A group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack, (Churchill Downs ) to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry (Bourbon), but mostly to see the horses.
When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the mens room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal.
Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the little boys up one by one, holding on to their 'wee-wees' to direct the flow away from their clothes.

As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring the teacher said, 'You must be in the 5th grade.'
'No, ma'am', he replied. 'I'm riding Silver Arrow in the seventh race, but I appreciate your help

Mortifying!
Marian putting a paper bag over the head of the doc is not a good idea, how will he see where he is going. And you are most certainly too good looking to hide your head thta way.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Colonoscopy - A musical
When I had my two major Operations in Hawaii last year I got two DVDs,
I found it fascinating taking a tour and watching all my inner tripes. Just to make sure nothing important is missing.
I put it on my computer sometimes and think how lucky I was.
Cheers
Brian.

#17, Rest assured Richard, when the camera is withdrawn you are wheeled out pronto!
