I've been meaning to start a similar thread. This past Sat night I was flipping channels and came across the Hampton University halftime show for their football game. This is a "highstepping" type of marching band. One of the songs they performed was "Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me?" I laughed, I cried.

Israeli combat pilots may soon fly high on Viagra

Thu Feb 7, 5:55 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - It might harm their reputation, but Israel's air
force is considering giving its combat pilots Viagra to improve
their performance -- in the air.

A recent study conducted by Israeli doctors among mountain climbers
in Africa found a link between erectile dysfunction drugs and
improved performance in high altitudes, the mass-selling Yediot
Aharonot reported on Thursday.

The active ingredient in the drugs was found to make climbers
perform better in an environment with less oxygen, which causes
fatigue and dizziness.

This has led army doctors to consider giving jet fighter pilots --
who can fly at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet (15,000 metres) -- the
same drug, the report said.

"The Viagra family of drugs is considered effective in these
conditions because when there is a long shortage in oxygen it leads
to high blood pressure in the lungs, and the drugs help fight that,"
the report quoted military medical sources as saying

So exactly how does a guy my age try to get his doc to give him a scrip for viagra, especially when he says it's for mountaineering?

I can see it now...
And what are we seeing you for today Mr. Kadiddlehopper?

Well doc, I'm goin to climb some real tall mountains in a couple weeks.

Ah, and you just want a physical then?

Uh, no. I think I want some viagra.

Excuse me? Viagra? Perhaps you should go talk with my friend Dr. Freud about penls envy. See Dolores on your way out and have her set you up with and appointment. Good day Mr. Kadiddlehopper. (laughs wildly as soon as the door is closed behind him)

That you, Clem?

Hey, it's gotta be more believable than telling him you joined the Israeli Air Force.
