Viagra
-------------------------

An elderly gentleman went to the local drug store and asked the pharmacist
to fill his prescription for Viagra. "How many do you want?" asked the pharmacist.

The man replied, "Just a few, maybe half a dozen. I cut each one into four pieces."

Upon hearing that, the pharmacist said, "That's too small a dose. That won't get you through sex."

The old fellow said, "Oh, I'm past ninety years old and I don't even think about sex anymore. I just
want it to stick out enough so I don't pee on my shoes."

Looks like we're stuck with the Scorcher repeating deals from yesterday.

I don't mind the repeats if they would just repeat in backwards order so we are not seeing the same ones that were up this time yesterday.

That would be nice. Now we're basically just getting a replay from yesterday.
