In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of “cocktails”, “highballs” and just a good old-fashioned “stiff drink”. Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO.
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer’s research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
“Honey, I have to say that Viagra has really made a difference in our marriage.”
“Yes, it certainly has, Dear. What do you feel like for breakfast? Eggs or pancakes?”
“Neither one, thanks, I’m going to skip breakfast.”
"Alright, Dear.
“Honey, I know I already said it earlier today, but that Viagra is just amazing.”
“Yes, it certainly is, Dear. I was going to work on lunch. Would you like a sandwich?”
“No thanks, Honey, I’m going to skip lunch.”
“Well if you’re not hungry, I suppose so.”
“Honey, I know I sound like a broken record but I just can’t stop talking about how great Viagra is.”
“That’s alright, Dear, I don’t mind. But I was thinking about supper. How would you feel about a nice steak?”
“No thanks, Honey. It sounds great but I’m going to skip supper too.”
“Well, you do what you want, Dear. But could you get off me? I’m starving.”
Before it got named Viagra, it was already known as sildenafil. That was back when it was being tested as an anti-anginal medication, to be used like nitroglycerine.
Therefore it woulda been funnier to to me to have referred to it as sildenafil, then tried those others out as its possible trade names.
Please chastise those folks on the private mailing list for me, and tell them to get it right next time.
It is all about maximizing my enjoyment, you know.
