Have You Ever Had A Little Laugh To Yourself? To Yourself

[nicebloke1]

I did today, got out my car walked to the post box, and posted my poo. When i got back to the car I just thought, who would have guessed 20 years ago we would have been posting such.:>)) Bowel test.

Yes. i laugh and talk to myself. I have been doing the bowel test too and it is a good service.

I was posting my poo around 20 years ago, not for the bowel cancer test, though. The hospital needed it once a week for about a month or so because of the treatment I was having for a condition I had at that time.

I thought 20 years ago people only posted poo to the Queen on her birthday?

[Old_Geezer]

Oh yes, I appreciate my sense of humour.

[barry1010]

I don't think the Queen intercepted my post :)

I'm assuming this is not a large sample!

[Old_Geezer]

I don't know, but the postman started swearing when he opened the box.

I laugh when I think of my daughter's basic first car.

It has electric windows and air conditioning though.

Back in the day power steering was a luxury.

I always, to this day, laugh about my late Uncle Tom. He was born and bred in the village of Alphington outside Exeter. He and his brother were always playing jokes and were renowned throughout the village for it. They both were campanologists as was my Granddad.
Tom was a typical country man with a ruddy complexion and worked as a Foreman for Devon county Council out in all weather.
He used to get up early for work ,walk down the back garden where there was an alley. On the other side of the alley was the vicarage back garden which was quite extensive and boasted a large orchard.
When in season Uncle Tom would enter the vicars garden through a small latch gate and help himself to a rosy apple to eat on the way to work. The vicar had obviously seen Tom scrumping so left a large note on the back gate saying,
'Please do not help yourself to my apples. I'm saving them for the Harvest Festival'
Next morning the vicar found a note on his gate saying, 'Don't worry your self vicar. All is safely gathered in'.

It was a joke amongst the villagers for some time and nothing more was said by the vicar.
I still laugh at Uncle Tom's cheeky carefree life.

Coincidentally I did a sample test a couple of days ago. Not living near a postbox when the postman came I said can you do me a favour and post this - not thinking about what was in it! He took the package and off he went - I did chuckle to myself wondering if he read the address!

I then got to thinking who on earth would want the job of opening them and then testing them? "What do you do for a living?" "Oh I look at people's poo all day" - and you studied for how long and get paid HOW much for doing that????

About 8 years ago I got my first invitation for bowel screening which I duly obliged and sent a sample back. I got the all clear about three weeks later. I was quite impressed until about three months later as a result of a constant constipation and many tests I had my first colonoscopy. Result was cancer of the sigmoid colon. I still have colonoscopy's and have another one next week involving a virtual CT colon scan with Gastogafin as it was discovered four weeks ago I can no longer have a conventional colonoscopy due to some stricture.
I have NEVER trusted those faeces screening tests since and sent a letter to Northwick Park telling them why and not to bother me with them any more. I received one only last week and it's going back unopened.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I apologise for digressing on a post about having little laughs to yourself.
Nothing to laugh about when a poo test gives false hope and you find you really had cancer in the first place.
