The awards for excellence in butt journalism

Not to make light of colon or rectal cancer, but I received the following letter in the mail today and it cracked me up:

The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ACRS) invites you to submit an entry in the 2008 National Media Awards program, which recognizes journalists who have excelled in communicating information to the public about colon and rectal disease, such as colorectal cancer, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, Crohn’s Disease, ulcerative colitis, anal fissures, and irritable bowel syndrome.

I can’t remember the last time I wrote about anal fissures…Oh, wait, I’ve never written about anal fissures. I really can’t think of anything that I’ve ever written that would warrant me receiving an invitation to participate in this award.

Of course, maybe they read my story about farting on airplanes and were hoping I would submit it.

Butt Probably not.
