I heard a truck load of viagra had been stolen. The police bulletin said, police were looking for a gang of hardend criminals.


Forgive me, I couldn't help myself. tee hee

ROFL!

This will be a tough one for the Greens. Is it still OK to hate pharmaceutical companies that price their products high (in order to fund future research)? I mean, the research that they've funded is now helping to save endangered species. What a dilemma!

Another title for this post could have been:

"Viagra Swells Scarce Animals (Males, Of Course)"

When I read the title I thought they were giving this stuff to scarce animals to get them, Ahem!, interested. LOL

Actually, there are several other things this drug can address, to benefit women in ways other than 'by' her mate.

"seal penises. "

My sympathy.

[SarahW]

Needed the smile - thanks

[APBaer]

"Canadian seal penises"

It's one thing to say someone is "hung like a horse",
but quite less sugggestive to say he is "hung like a Canadian seal"

[ckilmer]

it might have the something to do with beach.

[scouse]

Drop in the demand for Canadian seal penises and McDonalds shutting down restaurants worldwide.....Need I say more?:^)

[Travis McGee]

No skin off my

never mind.

[Aracelis]

The benefits of this drug continue to impress...

[PatrickHenry]

My dear, would you like to assist me in my noble work of saving the Canadian seal?

[Aracelis]

Yes, we must save the seals! :-)

Police are rising to the occasion, but said this will be a hard act to follow when they bust this nut.

I believe Viagra is being tried by zoos to encourage endangered mammals (rare tigers, etc.) to breed. I don't know where I saw it, or whether I would give it a lot of credibility, since if baby animals is all they want then artificial insemination can do the same thing.

I only did a search, but appears the giant panda isn't mentioned.

Now there is one species that could use something like Viagra.
I remember seeing on one documentary that one of the male pandas brought in
to help a lady panda (to make little pandas, of course) was so uninterested
that the poor female (in heat) started hitting and biting in him in a futile bid
for attention.
It was sad and sort of funny at the same time...

I don't think this was a gay male panda thing...I think the show said that such
dis-interest (or ineptness) is pretty common in these attempts to breed pandas in zoos.

Its certainly done wonders for the world's population of One-Eyed Trouser Snakes.
