City Hall to give dads free Viagra for Father's Day (Mexico)
San Antonio Express-News ^ | 06/12/2008 | Sean Mattson

It promises to be one very special Father's Day for men in General Escobedo, a suburb of Monterrey in northern Mexico.

As part of its "Healthy Dad" program, the municipality is giving free check ups Thursday and — for those with a clean bill of health who confess to needing an extra boost — one Viagra pill, along with a kit of other basic personal items.

Edgar Dimas, a city official, said the little blue bill is getting unwarranted attention.

"Honestly, it's not about the Viagra," he said.

The program is about encouraging fathers to live a healthy lifestyle, especially to avoid obesity — a serious health concern in Mexico — and the health problems that can accompany extra girth, like diabetes.

Yet the free Viagra, which I saw advertised outside a pharmacy here for $11 a pop, is stealing the show.

Dimas insisted that the pill will only be given with a prescription issued by the doctor who performs the medical exam.

Officials hope to give out 400 health kits, which include a condom and aspirin, today but only 100 will contain Viagra.

But without the Viagra, what good is the condom?

As a Seasoned Citizen who remembers when more often than "when," I second this idea as long as the "kit of other basic personal items" furnished, includes a comely, willing, companion.

Simply having (and using Viagra) absent someone who would be willing to share in its benefits leads to practices which promote blindness.

Just ask me, I now wear glasses, (though only for reading) and I can't for the life of me remember if its for near or farsightedness, so I'm not sure if I did it right or wrong all these years. lol

Yeah Right! And the first liar doesn't stand a chance.

Of course (and I can't remember who said it) "if you can do it, it ain't bragging," (and when I was younger give or take 30 - 50 years ago I probably boasted the same) so regardless, have a Happy Daddy Day. lol

Viagra is a hallucinogenic, it just makes your wife look better.

It remains a mystery that Father's Day doesn't precede Mother's Day by nine months.
