I don't get it. I've tried. I give up.

Cameron Diaz / camera in di azz? Maybe?

That's so awful, I'm personally angry at you for making me understand it. You jerk!

I'm gonna go with that. I got hung on the names of characters she's played. I couldn't make the connection between "Cameron" and "camera in".

Kinda want to watch "The Mask" now. I love her in that movie

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Watched it the other night. Still funny, but there are a few jokes that didn't age well.

Yeah. I've noticed that with some movies and shows from the 80s and 90s that I enjoyed at the time.

I might just put on in the background while I work on other things.

She has never looked better than she did in that film. Whoever decided that she needed to be skinnier is guilty of a crime against humanity.

I agree with all of that.

I'm glad you explained it. Otherwise all I could think was yeah Cameron Diaz is about that age she should be getting colonoscopies too.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a Cameron Diaz!

Wait, I don't get it either.

Camera-in de-ass

Bit of a reach.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 1 week ago

Bit of a stretch.

Doctor: "We're going to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy."

Me: "Oh, a spit roast!"

Doctor: ". . . Please don't call it that."

Stage 2 colon cancer folks! Get checked!

[–] postnataldrip@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Colonoscopy and gastroscopy make a spit roast, endoscopy is a term that covers procedures using an endoscope in general.

I know this because I tried to make a similar joke many moons ago to a family member who was working in endoscopy at the time, now I get to pass on the pedantry!

Damn, that's rough. How old are you (range is fine) if you don't mind me asking? I'm in my mid-30s and thinking about trying to get my Doctor to get one covered for me.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

56, I started having problems with anemia last year, doc ran it to see where my blood was vanishing to, found 17 polyps but no cancer.

But the rule of thumb is, if they find more than one, you come back and do it again.

6 more + stage 2 cancer.

It didn't make it out of the colon though, so the surgery got it all. I just don't have a sigmoid colon anymore.

So, yeah prep sucks, but get checked!

[–] Float@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago

Appreciate you sharing that info with me. I'll get checked.
