Chinese police have arrested a businessman who is alleged to have added the active ingredient from anti-impotence drug Viagra to bottles of alcohol.

The businessman, known only as Mr Huang, was arrested in Jianshi County in China's Hubei Province on Sunday according to officials.

The man is accused of adding one kilogram of sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, to 750 litres of a clear Chinese spirit known as Baijiu.

I thought this would be some lighthearted fun after all the depressing stuff I've posted.

.....now that’s what I call “hard liquor”!

[Jeff Chandler]

No doubt produced at the Dong Hi distillery.

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

As they say, sometimes things just write themselves......

After pitching tents outside his home, soldiers and cadre lieutenant comrade Leader Sum Ting Wong of the People’s Liberation Army & Navy firmly planted themselves at the door of the capitalist hyena’s home and, feeling himself flagging, Wong chugged a bottle of ‘Rise Ghost’ spirits, whereupon he cried, “Atten-hut!” and after a few more cheap boner jokes, having gained entry and then leaving rapidly, several times, fell to the floor completely spent.

A good, stiff shot of hard liquor, sure to get your spirits up.

A bar had this tibit from Shakesspeare on their drink list:

It provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.

There’s a line somewhere in Macbeth that talks of strong drink being an equivocator, “makes him stand to, and not stand to”. Maybe the Chinese were hoping to solve this problem

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

LOL yes I was remembering the same lines. Posted two minutes too slow.

From Macbeth:

MACDUFF

What three things does drink especially provoke?

Porter

Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance: therefore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and disheartens him; makes him stand to, and not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him.

MACDUFF

I believe drink gave thee the lie last night.

It’s hard the be The Bard.
