Proctology is the branch of science encompassing the exploration and charting of deep crevasses, folds, flaps, abysses, fissures, caverns, chasms, gorges, holes, pits, and voids.
History
Lacking any tools, they used their hands.
The practice achieved formal and widespread acceptance in the 400’s BC when Pythagoras made subtle alterations and claimed himself as its inventor. He devised a system whereby three individuals could form a triangle, with each participant examining each other simultaneously, and thus improving theoretical temporal efficiency by a factor of 3.
As evidenced by his subsequent influence on mathematical theory, Pythagoras’ obsession with three-ways was destined for the history books.
Modern Tools & Technologies
Modern proctologists do still, at times, use their hands for proctological exploration, though the process has made enormous strides forward with the advent of digital technology.
Depending upon the size of the region in question, a variety of equipment may be used:
Small Crevasses within Narrow Geographical Masses
Also known as the Callista Flockhart-class. The recommended tools are:
- Electron microscope
- Tweezers
- X-ray
- Nanobots
Normal-sized Crevasses within Normal-sized but Otherwise Abnormal Geographical Masses
Sometimes called the Kate Moss-class. The following are suggested:
- Anesthesia by use of controlled substances
- Conventional digital exploratory techniques
Abormally Large Crevasses within Normal-sized Geographical Masses
Also nicknamed the Oscar Wilde-class. Try these tools on for size:
- Plumber’s snake, 15 – 50 feet
- Augur
- Scuba gear
- Anesthesia is usually not requested, and is sometimes vehemently refused if offered
Titanically Large Crevasses within Gigantic Geographical Masses
For Kevin Smith-class explorations:
- Anesthesia not required due to sufficient clearances
- Multi-stage rockets
- Use of submarines, bathyspheres, and other heavy-walled and pressure-resistant vessels. [1]
- ROV – Remotely Operated Vehicles [2]
Other Famous Proctologists
- Jacques Cousteau – Pioneered the use of submarines in this approach.
- George Michael – Not a professional, but a talented amateur who makes house calls, and is famous for his public outreach campaigns.
- Hillary Clinton – One of the few women considered to be as adept in dealing with assholes as her male counterparts.
- Kramer of Seinfeld – Thou doth protest too much, sir!
- Oscar Wilde – Thou might have tried to protest, at least a little.
- The Head of Airport Security – As you’re bound to find out, sooner or later.
