I used to just drink beer. Until I ran my car into my neighbors garage.

There's a medication for ''restless leg syndrome''. Some of the side affects are ''increased gambling and sex urges''. Wonder how that works. "C'mon baby, I got two to one odds I'm getting laid tonight!''. Some other medication side effect I once heard of, think it was for roseaca was ''oily discharge''. Man, I don't want to know what THAT is!

I recall that I was rather shocked that the manufacturer didn’t catch the problem with the following disclaimer...

A whole list of what-ifs and maybes, followed by the information that “the medicine could cause obstructed or swollen airways and the inability to talk or breathe.”

“If this happens, call your doctor !”

Then what ?

It took them about a year to change the wording.

"Oily discharge"

Med later to later be rebranded as a fat cell eliminator?

A drug against skin rashes has the side effect of skin rashes.

Defeats the basic purpose of the ad.

“If erection lasts four hours or more, call your doctor immediately.”

Yeah, because my wife’s going to need a doctor by then. (just kidding, dear!)
