"Coming up on The CBS Early Show, Harry Smith has the first ever colonoscopy on a TV News anchor on live TV." Yes, that's what I heard myself saying this morning during CBS 8 This Morning...

It is important for people over 40 to be tested for colo-rectal cancer, and certainly the broadcast raised awareness, but isn't it possible to have a conversation about this without resorting to High School locker room humor? (Yea, I hear you calling me an old fart, but are we all so immature that we can't discuss body parts without braking out into crude jokes?)
Anyway, it was a good reminder...get tested, starting at age 50. Here are the facts.
Glad I didn't watch this!
