The male dilemma

[Laconian]

You know what's funny? Colonoscopies are unnecessary. In Europe, you bag up your poop and take it to the doctor. The data they get is just as good as having a big long snake up your butt. It's very cost effective and SO much safer. The reason it's not common in the states? Because Americans are grossed out by poop. Ask your doctor about fecal immunochemical testing the next time he wants to know what's up with your bum.

I've been seeing commercials on TV for a service like that here in the states.  Can't remember the name of it, but it's becoming a thing, I believe.

Here, they send us a kit in the mail and we just mail it back to them, with the poop.  Not particularly fun, but better than the alternative.

Poor mailmen

It's sealed quite effectively.

Ehh. I've been mailing my poop to people for years.

Yeah, I've been seeing them too.  Coloscan or something like that.  It's apparently only for people with normal or below normal risk.

[AutobahnSHO]

They are - umm - unusual-looking. But I've seen a few and they're growing on me. I think they'll sell well. Did you notice the fake seam between the bed & the cab?

Yeah, that's awesome.

[Rupert]

Yup. Starting age 40 if you're black, 50 for the rest. Not an annual ritual I enjoy.

40 for me, runs in the family.

This is weird because vets have no problem handling animal poop. This proved to be quite the task when our young one was in her poop eating phase.

Nattie still does it on occasion.

[Morris Minor]

You gotta respect dogs; they'll just gorge on almost anything, puke it up/shit it out, continue the cycle.

Back to the thread:  Yeah, I think a CX-5 is probably the least girly.  But of my group of college friends, this is what all the wives drive:

2 CX-5s, 2 CR-Vs, Rav4, Tuscon.

This is what the men drive:

2 Accords, Mazda6, Mazda3, Civic.  Then me with the 4Runner and S2000.

My brother drives a Rav4 though.  It is kind of girly looking

I've heard this from some doctor friends too - Europe to the rescue! I will NEVER submit to a colonoscopy. So dangerous - from the general anesthesia to the fact endoscope is reused (and if not cleaned property it will basically kill the patient). It's all so disgusting. I'm not a scat fan, but if I have to, I will.

I was working with a client in Redmond that has invented an endoscope with a diameter not much bigger than a toothpick, and it's cheap enough that it's disposable after one use. Their first target market is arteries to inspect after a stroke or heart attack. Anyway, very slick, and that might make the process more palatable.

the fact endoscope is reused

[shp4man]

I've had two colonoscopies (both OK). I'm not dead yet.

Buy a car, unless you want to be a girly man.

Weren't you rockin a mini van a while ago?

I'm man enough to drive whatever suits my needs, whenever I want and wherever I want. I quit caring about what other people think of my cars a long time ago. I've had a ton of fun in cars that other people would laugh at.

I don't think the escape is that girly.
