Reader offers colonoscopy help

Our helpful friend, Tom Story, in an unselfish act of encouragement to others who have not yet had their colonoscopies, has submitted a list of smart remarks to make to your attending physician during that critical time.

Anything to help, Tom. Here's his list, choose your favorite, then go have your check up.

1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!"
2. "Can you hear me NOW?"
3. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
4 "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."
5. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
6. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!"
7. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
8. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?"
