There was a piece on Fox last night about the 10th anniversary of Viagra. In early trials they were trying to treat hypertension and angina. Can you all imagine taking it for hypertension and then having one of the classic "erections lasting more than four hours..."?

Here's a piece of the Wikipedia article:

Sildenafil (compound UK-92,480) was synthesized by a group of pharmaceutical chemists working at Pfizer's Sandwich, Kent research facility in England. It was initially studied for use in hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (a form of ischaemic cardiovascular disease). Phase I clinical trials under the direction of Ian Osterloh suggested that the drug had little effect on angina, but that it could induce marked penile erections.[1][2] Pfizer therefore decided to market it for erectile dysfunction, rather than for angina.

I saw a comedian recently and he did a bit on Viagra or Cialis I forget which, but he said, "If I get an erection lasting more than four hours, I'm not calling my doctor, I'm calling everyone I know!!!" Laughed my *ss off.

Pfizer afterwards decided the population with ED wasn't a big enough market so they ran ads slyly marketing Viagra as an aphrodisiac. "Slyly" because the drug is not approved for that purpose, but the market of 20 year olds is much larger....


 
I understand that some corporations use it as a screening tool for management candidates. It a candidate's whole body swells up and gets stiff, he's qualified.:goofy:
 
About 3 months ago we had a nieghborhood pharmacy broken into (again) and the only thing stolen was viagra. The authorities are looking for hardened criminals.

Hmm, If I had one going for 4 hours, I'm calling a hooker!
 
They're now administering it in nursing homes. Keeps the old guys from rolling over and falling out of bed.
 
I took either too much Viagra or too many iron pills. There for about two days all I did was point north. :yes:
 
I tried to buy some bootleg Viagra on the street. Paid a guy $100 for a couple blue pills. I took one.










Looks like I got stiffed.
 
Owell. As long as you're telling those jokes...

"Banned Viagra commercial" Right.
 
I took one, or tried to, got stuck in my throat. Wound up with a stiff neck.
