Medicine

In honor of one of our favorite pieces of spam (Thanks Christa):

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO.
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Also, those of you who were interested in Jo Leigh's book Closer ... you have another chance to win. Make sure you come back on Monday to enter a contest where I will be giving away two autographed copies of her book. Thanks Jo!

Oh. MY. Gaw.

I was laughing so hard I choked on my coffee. Do you write humor,Bailey? Well, you should!!! You are hysterical. Thank you for starting off my day with such a good laugh. I needed that!

I am going to link this from my blog so others can come and read it.

Thank you, thank you each and every one. I wish I could take credit for writing this, but it came from an email from Christa.

That one was funny and...sad for those of us who have or had loved ones ill with Alzheimer's. I think it's taking the dictum of helping the "living" too far or not far enough. Let's help people so that they can enjoy these "now" drugs for a much longer time in good mental health.

I thought it was very funny too until I got to the Alzheimer's. Thanks, Eve, for making me realize the negative side of this. And we both know it. And really, which is more important? Having "great" sex or being yourself until the end?

I do think your writing is humorous. Just doing that Spamarama shows that. As Scott said, I could never come up with something like that.
