Ahoy thar matey

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 colonoscopies:

1. “Take it easy, Doc. You’re boldly going where no man has gone before!

2. “Find Amelia Earhart yet?”

3. “Can you hear me NOW?”

4. “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”

5. “You know, in Alabama, we’re now legally married.”

6. “Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?”

7. “You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out…”

8. “Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!”

9. “If your hand doesn’t fit, you must quit!

10. “Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.”

11. “You used to be an executive at Enron, didn’t you?”

And the best one of all..

"To teach me pitching accuracy, my Dad made me throw a baseball through a tire hung from a tree and then at a strike zone painted on an old mattress." - Annabelle Lee.

In 1944 threw a Perfect Game. 1945 threw a No-Hitter.

Annabelle Lee passed on her pitching knowledge to a nephew, gave him his first left-handed glove, and became one of the biggest influences in his life.

He grew up to become a lefty junkballer just like his Aunt Annabelle. Better known as Bill “Spaceman” Lee.

"I like to think I got my competitive nature from her. My Aunt was the best baseball player and the best athlete in the family, including me." - Bill “Spaceman” Lee
