Viagra

Viagra and Smoking

It appears that the UK National Health Service in Glasgow, Scotland have been involved in a study to help people stop smoking. The patients were supposed to be prescribed Zyban, but it seems the computers did not recognize this name, and so selected Sildenafil – the proper name for Viagra.

Of course, the NHS blamed a computer error – inanimate objects cannot make an error, only a human.

You can imagine the conversation when a male patient returns home.

“Hi honey, I’m home.”

“I picked up your stop smoking pills. Maybe you should start taking them now.”

10 minutes later.

“Honey, how about you and I got upstairs for a bit of how’s-your-father?”

“Not now, dear, I have a ton of ironing to do…. What’s that bulge in your jeans?”

PS Here in the US, there's a commercial for Cyalis. It says that if the 'erection lasts for more than 4 hours, you should seek medical attention'. Isn't that the whole point?! Mind you, four hours.... four minutes would be good...

Here endeth etc…. but not the bulge…
