"Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Tom Hanks have an epic party together every other year… a colonoscopy party. 

While the actors have to avoid solid foods in preparation for their procedures, Martin says they play poker and watch movies, while drinking the yucky stuff that really… clears out the system. 

During an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, Martin joked that the bathroom ends up “looking like a Jackson Pollock.” 

The friends ride together for their colonoscopies the following day and play cards to determine who will get the procedure last. “It was fun,” Martin said. “It’s a great way to do something that you should do.”

Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cancer death for men and women combined, so, if you’re 45 or older, it’s time to schedule a colonoscopy (and start party-planning)!"
