Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous….. A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their<\/span><\/strong> colonoscopies: <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>
<\/strong>
1. "Take it easy, Doc. You’re boldly going where no man has gone before! <\/span><\/span><\/strong>
<\/strong>
2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
<\/strong>
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

5. "You know, in Arkansas, we’re now legally married." <\/span><\/span><\/strong>
<\/strong>
6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief<\/span>?<\/span>" <\/span><\/span><\/strong>
<\/strong>
7."Hey! Now I know how a Muppet<\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>feels!" <\/span><\/span><\/strong>
<\/strong>
8. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity." <\/span><\/span><\/strong>
<\/strong>
9. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn’t you?" <\/span><\/strong>

<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the best one of all<\/span>….<\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

10. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?"<\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
