Unpleasant

I'm having a combination endoscopy/colonoscopy tomorrow morning.

Just one of the many joys of turning 40, I guess (dripping with sarcasm).

Right now, I am doing the Miralax regimen with white grape juice. It's as much as fun as it sounds.

However, I am always thinking of the scads of ragamuffins who read this blog, so have a couple of vintage commercials pertaining to laxatives.

The "Golden Jet" at Continental was a reference to their pride and joy, a brand-new Boeing 707 fleet. In 1961, Continental was still a small carrier, compared to giants such as TWA, Pan Am, Eastern, and American. The 707s were used not only to make runs between Hawaii and the West Coast, but as U.S. military charters over to the growing war in VietNam.
