    Absolutely accurate. The first small, almost inconspicuous warning is easy to miss or take lightly. Don’t. You only have seconds before the eruption. You will begin to empty of everything you have ever eaten or thought about eating. Once it starts, it doesn’t stop until you are a walnut with lava burns where you never want to have lava burns. But cancer is much, much worse.

      an when it comes to cancer an ounce of prevention is worth a planet sized amount of cure.
      oh we found a few polyps in your last check up. few quick snips and some dissolving stitches ad you're fine.
      But if you didn't take everybody's advice and get regular checks and those get worse. Now we have to pump radioactive acid and caustic venom into your bloodstream for the next 6 months.

      Catch it early and the survival rate is quite high. Fail to catch it early, and the survival rate is much lower. Get checked. Play this clip if you feel stressed.

      I have had 2 colonoscopies and the best thing I've found to cope with the burning asshole is Bag Balm. A liberal coating right after you take the laxative pills but before the diarrhea starts and then after every trip to the loo protects those tender tissues. Wonderful stuff.

    I never stopped laughing at the toilet description. It was so accurate. Here in the Waikato New Zealand, I too had to have a colonoscopy 3 years ago at the age of 84. The laxative was definitely the worst part, but I had to take it over two days. On the day I went to Waikato Hospital in Hamilton I was ushered into a cubicle with a team of 4 or 5 nurses, all female. I was placed on the bed on my side, my bare arse was prepared and the procedure began. I could watch my insides appear on a convenient wall. monitor. I felt no discomfort during the process. The team were so professional and did their very best to minimise any embarrassment. When it was all over I returned to retrieve my clothes. Whilst I was dressing, the Head Nurse entered and said, "Having to stick something up your bum, I think I deserve a hug." I duly complied and we both had a laugh. She made what could have been very traumatic, into something special. I am so grateful to that nurse and her team, so if they ever get to read this, THANK YOU SO MUCH, all of you. You are a credit to your profession and I will never forget your kindness to an old and very shy man. The upshot unfortunately was, that I was diagnosed Colon Cancer and had to go back into Hospital for a major operation. I have recovered well and 3 years later I'm still going strong,

    As I sit here laughing so hard at this video, I have just gotten out of the loo after 2.75 hours of spasmodic firehose squirts. My legs went numb. This is my first colonoscopy a year to the day after the previous colonoscopy where a very large mass was discovered. I had colon surgery 48 hours later, then 9 Rounds of Chemotherapy starting 6 weeks after surgery. I am still here, thanks be to God, recovering and now having a peek after surgery. It was great watching a video on my cell phone in the loo after taking bowel prep. I've never laughed so hard. What better way to make a yukkie process a little easier to handle? Everything Billy says is true however, his description is so spot on and better than anyone could possibly make up. Tomorrow is my big day and afterwards, no matter the outcome, I will reward myself with a nice bag of ice to my bum.

    I was given a concoction to mix with water and it amounted to 2 litres of the stuff. I actually took 4 days off from work as a sensible precaution. Thank God! After drinking this stuff that tasted like hospitable disinfectant, I said to my wife, "It'll probably take a couple of hours". I was wrong. Less than 5 minutes. Then it was exactly as you indicated. This went on for 3 days. At one stage, I figured there was no point in leaving the toilet,, but my legs fell asleep. When I got to the hospital for the procedure, I found my doctor (an old Sth African guy) was replaced with a hot Brazilian woman with a lovely smile. I couldn't have given a shit. I'd already given more than my share. Embarrassment gave way to resignation. I'm now 5 years overdue for my follow up colonoscopy. I'll leave that to braver men.

    I get a colonoscopy every 5 years. His description is accurate. The burning he refers to is due to irritation of the skin around the anus. My pro-tip is to apply 40% zinc oxide rash cream (like maximum strength Desitin) to that region before each “toilet session” begins.

So I called his home his wife said he should be with you any time now as he took the bus!!!!!! He lived 40 miles from the hospital!!! We all looked at one another waiting for someone to make a comment! We all knew how explosive the laxatives are! One thing we all knew the country buses didn’t have a toilet on them!

    Well he took it and assumed a good 15-20 minute "gap", he was wrong, within 2 minutes he felt motions and another few minutes he felt waves and churning and assumed the worst and headed upstairs, he hadn't reached the toilet and as Billy described had barely sat down when a torrent was created and from then on he only ever took it with great care and forward planning.
    He told me he would take it in the bathroom and just wait for it's effect as there was no time between "Oh I need to go" and "Oh no it's too late".

Dosent matter why i go, could be an eyeball hanging out but lets get that prostate a full on examination. Ive been a fan of Billy Connolly since I was about 13 or 14. Its a very rare talent to be such an accomplished teller of storys and to to hold such a captive audience attention for the entire show and over so many decades the whole time never losing that edge. Thats why he will always be the best stand up comic/peformer/singer song writer/actor/TV presenter and one of my childhood heroes. One of my favourite stories are the two gaurds at the kyber pass getting stoned. they are about to meet the Scottish regiments of the British army marching into India. Classic Connolly
