WASHINGTON, DC (DPI) -- Viagra, the new pill for impotence approved by the Food and
Drug Administration on Friday, is already causing problems across the country. The FDA had
said a man would need to by sexually aroused before the drug would work, but apparently
failed to consider that most men walk around in a constant state of sexual arousal.
Several disasters or near-disasters have already been reported:
* In Boise, a passenger plane skidded off the runway after the pilot's erection
inadvertently hit the button that causes the landing gear to retract.
* In San Bernardino County, outside of Los Angeles, a 17-car pileup occurred when
trucker Dirk Diggler apparently lost control of his rig, blocking his vision and causing
him to also lose control of his truck.
FDA Spokesperson Bonnie Thurston commented, "There's no limit to the damage that
this pill could cause. We've got to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands, like
President Clinton's, for example, or we could have a potential nuclear mistake."
