When you turn 50 in New Zealand (assuming you’re a citizen or resident), the government gives you a gift of a free screening for bowel cancer.

The sample required is surprisingly small, and sealed in a tube which is sealed in a bag which is sealed in an envelope.

I still wouldn’t want to be the person who has to process them.

    That’s both a thoughtful and disheartening birthday present.
