What Crawled Up Your Butt?
A recently colonoscopied woman was (luckily) found to be clear of any polyps or other indicia of cancer, but she was (ickily) found to have a cockroach in her colon.
The link takes you to the text of the report by the physician.
The doctor noted that the woman recently suffered a cockroach infestation in her home and must have accidentally swallowed it with food. I have my doubts.
Fist, I chew when I eat, don't you? And that cockroach is intact. So unless little cucaracha was surfing down in the soup or a scoop of yogurt, I'm not buying it.
Second, there are 2, count them, 2 routes to the colon. One begins at the mouth, and goes through the esophagus, stomach, and intestines before arriving in the colon. There are other hurdles and pit-stops, but you get the gist. The other route - the shortest route - is the same path taken by the scope for the colonoscopy.
So, which is more likely? That she accidentally swallowed a cockroach whole while eating without knowing it? Or that it crawled up her butt while she was asleep?
Think of me while you're not sleeping tonight. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
