A few years ago, word started spreading that Viagra may enhance athletic performance by relaxing blood vessels and increasing cardiac output and oxygen delivery rate. Not long ago, MaryWOOD University did a study on its effects on lacrosse players.
In our view, there is no doubt that Viagra helps athletes, since a man will run much faster with 3 legs instead of 2.

Most of us are very fond of their titles, whether they denote a respected profession (Dr.), a social milestone (Mrs.) or an educational achievement (Ph.D.). Yet most of us don’t cling to their furniture and especially their throne, among other reasons, because it’s rather uncomfortable to do so. Yet this is precisely what a 35-year old from Britain ended up doing. A man from Brierly Hills in West Midlands was removed together with the toilet and taken to the hospital after he sat on a toilet seat smeared with super-glue (or krazy glue). A carefully worded statement was issued: An ambulance service spokesman said: "He appeared to be none the worse for his ordeal other than being understandably somewhat embarrassed." "With the help of a local authority and the fire and rescue service, the man was removed from the cubicle still attached to the stainless steel toilet," the spokesman said. The toilet was later taken back to the public convenience and re-installed. And thus, both the man and the toilet lived to tell the tale.
