Dave Barry: A journey into my colon - and yours

My wife's Grandparents sent me an email that had an article written by Dave Barry. It was a hilariously wonderful read. I decided to simply email to a lot of my friends and family because I wasn't sure of the copyright ramifications of reproducing here in my blog. Then a long time friend, Mary, sent me the link for "the rest of the story." Though I'm still not going to reproduce the article here, I am going to include the link after Dave Barry's opening paragraph - so go and check it out and read the entire article as it was meant to be read. If you are part of the circle that I emailed it to, go and read it again, it's better the second time - especially when it's the complete thing!

Oh, by the way - in the midst of your laughter, don't miss his point!
