Apparently my joke was too subtle. That doesn't often happen.

I would much rather do it than the alternative I had to go through for CT scans

Details, man. Frankly, if they expect me to drink barium on a regular basis, they need to work on the formula. I've had better:

shooting the fluids through the other end.

Let me guess, black poops? I was asked about that by 3 different docs at the ER on Monday. Luckily I'm good on that end of things.

And Bat, your joke flew right over my noggin.

That is slightly less horrible than the milkshakes, but not by much.

black poops? nah it had something to do with my weight apparently, which i wasnt 100% clear on. i think it takes longer for the liquid to pass trhough if you drink it? idk.

either way, it was unpleasant. and i had to go through it on 3 or 4 occasions.

Jet black poops is a sign you may have bleeding in your lower GI tract.

Is that what stouts do to my intestines? ****.

When x-rays were a new thing, didn't they used to have patients swallow radiation? I'd say that either is an improvement over that, although that could just be my take on it.
