Riffling through my on-line Scientific American I noticed that Wrigley has patented a gum laced with viagra. An interesting idea, but nothing like this other listed patent.

Go to:  
[www.uspto.gov](http://www.uspto.gov)  
patent no. 6,485,773

IMO one of the scientific breakthroughs of the century. No longer can women say,“I would, but the taste is awful” or," I can’t swallow that vile stuff".

(Read the whole description of what’s in it, how to take it, couple’s comments, etc).

Men and women with an oral,um, bent, I await your,ah, input.

What’s with all the clicking!?) I’d like to say that, on behalf of all men everywhere, I shed a tear of joy. More like 2 or 3, but don’t tell anybody.

I think I already know what you’re saying, but say it again in simpler terms because I don’t want to believe it just yet.

Sqube:

Thanks for the link. I have webtv and if there’s a way to do it with this system, I have yet to find it. It’s a constant irritation.

Lizard:

You may conclude whatever you wish. Horsies need love too, you know.

hmmm, the OP kinda confused me at first. I cut and pasted that number into the search (not noticing I had truncated the last two digits) and came up with some sort of extendable table.
