Surprising Birthday Gift

I actually heard this advertisement on the radio this morning --

If you know someone who is about to turn 50, here's a gift that's sure to surprise--A colonoscopy!

It'd sure surprise the shit outta me! Literally and figuratively. Seriously, if you know someone who is about to turn 50, please, please, please do not get them a colonoscopy.

Wow...that was their sales pitch? ouch.

Did you hear about the place out East that is offering free pizza with a Vasectomy during the month of March? Now that's a sales pitch!

It is meant to encourage you to get a colonoscopy. It is the recommendation of the ACS to get your first colonoscopy at age 50. Colonoscopy's have proven to be a great way to catch colon cancer and precancerous lesions. Therefore, prolonging a long and fruitful life. It is not the exam that is hard it is the prep. What a colonic!
