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!

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!

That’s so awful, I’m personally angry at you for explaining it to me.

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

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.
