I just now arrived safely home from my prostate exam.

I'll be setting up a Go Fund Me account if anyone wants to contribute.

The exam itself is paid for, but I am looking for some compensation for the pain, suffering and humiliation that I suffered at the hand of Dr. McHuge von Sausagefinger.

If you donate at least $5, I will tell you what he estimated the weight of my prostate to be, in grams. For another $5, I will use Google to convert that to ounces. For $5,000, I will attempt to take a photo of my prostate with my phone and send you the photo. If you're nice, I will take a sharpie and sign my name to it, along with writing the misspelled word "PROSTRATE" on the picture.

Thank you very much.

JUST KIDDING! maybe ..

Men are so funny about their backsides...

As noted in other comments, NOTHING compares to what women have to deal with.

But to hear us, get anywhere near our rectum and you'd think we were being split wide open. That is obviously not the case, since many men AND women have no problem with it.

A finger is certainly no bigger than most of our bowel movements. The key is to relax. No biggie.

I forget the name of the comedian I watched recently, but one of his bits was about how during sex his girlfriend stuck her finger up his ass and rubbed his prostate. He had no idea she was going to do it. And he was quite surprised by his response to it.

His punch line was that, referring to the prostate, many men are afraid of a little experimentation in that area because they think of it as a "switch", and not a "button". You know, once you flip the switch, the light is now on.....

Hilarious guy.

Get an AFLAC policy. They will pay you if you have a colonoscopy. Of course, paying for the colonoscopy yourself may be cheaper than the premiums.

I've ever had -- not because of the biopsy itself but because of the ultrasound wand, which was enormous (I've had other ultrasounds that were nowhere near as bad). I can't imagine what women go through with the hardware involved.

Eleven of the samples showed cancer. Four showed all cancer -- no healthy cells. I had a PSA of 52 and a Gleason score of 9.

After proton beam radiation, my PSA is down to 0.1!

Might have to take that one someday myself and I'm hoping you could give us a cheat sheet....

I assume it's a bunch of really personal stuff like "how often do you prostate yourself before a priest?".......
