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.

Hmmmm, I know I’ve flown on them before, I was thinking it was out of DFW, I guess not. Too many airports tend to suck the brainpower right out of your head.

But I don’t want a mini-tent for 6 hours. The little blue pill doesn't work that way.
'Tenting' would only be the case if the stewardess were doing some inappropriate canoodling on you.

Besides...you're 21. You don't need Viagra. You should be primed and ready to fire at all times.

Viagra: stroke city for anyone over 60. What about just trying to get one good night’s sleep?

She's at least 18, sheesh. Yeah, I'm sure she is, but she looks like a barely pubescent 13 y/o. After all, if I going to fly Hooters airline, I want some real Hooters, not some sunny side up eggs.
Not that thin women can't be attractive, but not skin and bones thin. Even Ann Coulter has some curves.
I do know the rules. :)
