Well, if it’s a decision between listening to someone who has a degree in medicine and listening to 1) Someone who’s trying to make a quick buck by hustling overpriced herbal goo or 2)People who have no expertise beyond what they’ve read in advertisements for the above, then, yeah, I’ll listen to the doctor.
No, I don’t need a laxative. My intestines function just fine on their own thanks. As for observing the results? Gee–I take a strong laxative/fiber concoction and what are the results?
A great big honkin’ pile o’ poop. What a surprise!
You can get the same result from a nice bowl of oatmeal, without the pseudomedical b.s. (a singularly appropriate term in this case.)
Also, you didn’t seem to get my point about the lions. I was suggesting that the keeper put them on a periodic fast because that would more closely resemble their natural eating pattern than stuffing them every day.
But what really got me was a few pages into the colonblow web site: A page with the headline
“Who do you know needs a Colonblow?”
Now THAT is what belongs on the T-shirt.
Re: the SNL sketch: “Warning: May cause abdominal distention.”
How many bowls of your cereal to equal one bowl of super colon blow? Over thirty thousand bowls. You’d have to eat ten bowls a day, every day, for eight and a half years. [picture of SNL actor disappearing into sky on huge pyramid of bowls of cereal]
I’d just like to say that i’ve been online since the mid-80s, and have read all sorts of varying tidbits of humor throughout, and this is the first time i’ve ever involuntarily sprayed water on my screen.
7 out of 12 persons polled almost wet their pants while being apprised of a product and website called Colonblow.
1 person refused to be part of the conversation and ran off giggling, ducking into an elevator at the last second to avoid any more questions about her tolerance of poop humor.
2 of the 12 were pissed they hadn’t come up with the idea first.
