How’d you like to have to “monitor” a 13 year old’s hardon until “the effects wear off”? Man, that could take weeks. ---

How could they tell the effects were the result of the Viagra and not just … umm … normal 13 year-old male tendencies? If there were hot nurses hanging around (or, for that matter, any nurses with boobs) the “effects” would never wear off! ---

How did thirteen-year-olds come into possession of prescription drugs, anyway? Is it usual for them to handle things like that in Italy? Did somebody’s father get left hanging in the wind without his meds? It would be terrible to be shafted that way by your own son, but seems most likely that a boy that age would have palmed 'em at home. What if they weren’t handy, though? I wonder asked the local pharmacists if there had been any stick-ups lately. Nah, it’s probably silly to speculate. They were well-raised english schoolboys, after all-- I’m sure they were all upstanding young gentlemen. ---

When I was in high school a kid whose father was a doctor managed to get his hands on a couple of pills and slipped them into a couple of his friends food. The little dick got suspended. ---

“Hey Billy, did you just get a haircut?” A swaggering Billy smugly answers “Nope.” “New jacket?” “Nope.” Billy leans over and confides in little Sally… “I just pulled my first boner.” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-love-an-editor-with-a-sense-of-humor/209173.md?page=2)
