Man From Nantucket [Dan Collins; UPDATED]

Smokers trying to quit the habit were mistakenly prescribed anti-impotence drug Viagra by doctors.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said the error was due to a computer glitch at two city GP practices.

When GPs selected anti-smoking pill Zyban, computers selected sildenafil, the generic name for Viagra.

UPDATE: Maybe they could just combine the two, and kill the urge to light up after you get squidgy.

    It could work. Take their minds off the withdrawal symptoms. Until afterwards of course. But I understand that by the time afterwards arrives with Viagra you are far too knackered to do anything other than roll out of the damp patch and start snoring.

    This used to be an interesting website. Why Jeff Goldstein’s name is still on it is a wonder.

    Hey, Dan.

    Back with a vengence, huh?

    Doesn’t it suck that nuance is sometimes lost in the wriiten word? It’s nice to see you back, but somehow, my first sentence looks and feels like snark. It wasn’t meant that way.

    If Jeff is going to be lost in “scriptland”, it’s nice to have an amusing and goofy stand in.

    Shit! That sounded snarky, too.

    Oh well. I’m trying to say “Bravo”, but am missing the mark. I’ll leave it at that…

  4. furriskey says:

    Hi, freeflykat!

    That was certainly interesting. What else do you have for us today?

    Did you know that there is no one named McDonald involved in any way with McDonald’s®?

    Well, except the clown. But he’s moonlighting as the Burger King in the competitor’s commercials (Actual fact! Astonish your friends!) so he doesn’t count.

    Who cares where Jeff is, where the hell’s Witheld?

  10. ken says:

    Hmmm. I always thought the generic name was mycoxafillin.

    We tried getting Glenn Reynolds to put his name on it, but he wouldn’t bite. That, and Jeff pays the bills, so, you know…

  12. A fine scotch says:

    Plan for today:

    Move to Glasgow.

    Take up smoking.

  13. Al Maviva says:

    Did you say Nantucket? 

    Naaaaan-tucket?

    Some smokers tried kicking the habit,

    But they found it quite hard, dagnabit. 

    So they got some blue pills,

    And found other hot thrills,

    But ended up killing the rabbit.

    Everything’s a double-entendre these days.

  15. proudvastrightwingconspirator says:

    Al,

    Nicely done!

    Some smokers from Glasgow and Clyde,

    in order to quit were supplied,

    with pharma confections,

    that gave them erections,

    and left them swollen with pride!

  16. McGehee says:

    Larry Harmon is still alive?

    Have you forgotten whom the Democrats nominated for president in 2004?

  17. Al Maviva says:

    Okay, the gauntlet has been thrown.

    There once was a smoker of butts,

    Whom the doctors all said was quite nuts.

    He tried to kick it,

    With the wrong doctor’s ticket;

    All he got was a priapic putz.

    A single man from Nanticoke,

    Was told to give up the smoke.

    So for his ills,

    He got the blue pills,

    Now he’s just dying for a poke. 

    A smoker from lovely Peru,

    Gave up joints, pipes and dip too.

    He had great success,

    With a novel Rx,

    But post-coitus, lacks something to do. 

    TW:  If your erection has stood42 hours or longer after taking viagra, you should call a doctor.  Or the local newspaper.

  18. proudvastrightwingconspirator says:

    Al,

    Bravo! I concede.

    Of course, I used to smoke after sex, but I haven’t looked for awhile.

    I believe Viagra, Cialis, etc., all have missed an obvious commercial hook. When is one of them going to advertise: “Viagra, it puts the bone back in boner!”?

    Also, I always thought that a four hour erection was not as much a medical emergency as an opportunity to practice “tantric sex”.

  19. great Mencken's Ghost! says:

    I don’t care that it won’t go down, doctor, it hurts like hell trying to keep it lit…!

  20. Swen Swenson says:

    Gives whole new meaning to the term “medical miss adventure”.

    TW:suddenly55Yeah, how did that happen so fast?
