Stolen inflatable colon found in vacant home
2018-10-31
[NYPOST] A giant inflatable colon that was stolen from the University of Kansas Cancer Center nearly two weeks ago has been found, police said.

The "giant, inflatable, pilfered intestine" was recovered from a house in Kansas City, Missouri after Sherlocks followed up on a tip. The Kansas City Police Department tweeted on Monday that nobody has been taken into custody yet, noting their investigation into the theft is ongoing.

The "stolen colon" ‐ weighing 150 pounds and costing more than $4,000 ‐ was poached from the bed of a parked pickup truck in a Kansas City neighborhood on Oct. 18, according to the Colon Cancer Coalition. It was supposed to be displayed at a breast cancer 5K on Oct. 20.

On Saturday, the American Society of Gastroenterology offered a $1,000 reward to anyone who came forward with information regarding the missing colon.

The inflatable colon is often used as an educational tool by medical center staff for various university and community events.

Complains to her clone on the phone,
"These Spanish are clannish...
Our monuments vanish.
They're calling Colombo, "Colón!"

#10  It's like a big gay inflatable bouncy castle. And by 'gay', I mean happy, of course.

#9  A Mattapan man sought a pardoner
And cut back his intake of hardener.
He'd never felt greater
And several days later
He shat out that art from the Gardner!

"So that's what it was!" said his partner.

Bewildered all wise men of Ilium
Till one Trojan solon
Declared it a colon
And blew the Greeks seaward with psyllium.
