I'll bring my colonoscopy pictures!

And I'll discuss them in great detail!

Like a PowerPoint demonstration!

I'll do it right after the toast to the bride and groom...

I'll grab the mic while holding up the pics...

'Uh, 'scuse me...I'd like to say a few things...these are pictures of my colon...

Then everyone will start clanking their silverware against their drinking glasses (like they do when encouraging the bride and groom to kiss).
