WASHINGTON- Argentine scientists announced that the male impotence drug Viagra may be useful in alleviating jet-lag.
Jet lag is caused by flying across multiple time zones and can disturb one’s sleeping pattern which can lead to insomnia, sleepiness and concentration problems.
By studying hamsters, researchers Patricia Agostino, Santiago Plano and Diego Golombek of the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes in Buenos Aires administered Viagra to hamsters at night and then switched on bright lights six hours earlier to model an eastbound flight.
However, the drug eased the subjects handle jet lag only when they took the samples before the equivalent of an eastbound flight and not the opposite when the delayed turning on the lights to imitate a westbound flight.

True story:
My wife and I went to a cocktail party a couples years ago - 5 couple in total.
The host (husband) gave all the boys Viagra in the kitchen about 30 minutes before dinner - we all thought it was funny.
About half way through the appetizers the boys started swapping looks at each other - let’s just say the lumber arrived.. (pardon?)
Anyway - to end the story - the party broke up early - before dessert - and the next day we all met for breakfast at a restaurant.
The girls talked at 100 miles per hour - the boys just sat there - eating like hounds - waiting to go home and get some sleep.
The wonders of Viagra.

So, Viagra helps you to get up in the morning?
LOL!
Good one.
Uhhhhh, have you seen the stewardesses lately? If you've seen better than a wrinkley sourpuss with an attitude problem, please tell me what airline you're flying. It sure is hell ain't US Air. :-)
I don’t know about getting up, but it makes it awfully hard to roll out of bed.
Hamsters on Viagra...
Somebody broke into a local drug store and stole all the Viagra. Cops are looking for hardened criminals.
Because you can sleep better with a kick-stand?

Thank you! Try the veal! Tip your waitress!
Nice pouch.
Southwest - Unfortunately they don’t have that many routes from my airport in SC. But when I head west from DFW, I usually try to take them whenever I can. That ain’t often enough I’m afraid.
“jet lag”, Is that what they are calling it now?
So that’s what Rush was doing with Viagra in his suitcase, fighting off jetlag! (Hey whatever happened to those charges? I stopped paying attention.)
