The new recommended age to start getting routine checks for colon cancer is 35. Go get your ass tickled once a year and it just might save your life. Colon cancer is one of the deadliest cancers but also one of the easier ones to detect and beat with a full recovery if you catch it early..

Plus you can pay to get a finger in your ass and it's legitimately for your health! You can ask for more but some doctors charge extra.
