If this turns out to be the case, it has to be the funniest/
most stupid reason ever to do time for a drug rap........
"whatcha in for?"
"Viagra"
(laughter on cellblock subsides after an hour)


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- NEW YORK – June 28, 2006 -- Pfizer Inc. today
announced conservative talk radio commentator Rush Limbaugh has been
signed as the new spokesman for the company's erectile dysfunction drug,
Viagra (sildenafil citrate). Limbaugh went public with his use of the
medication following a security incident June 26 at the Palm Beach
International Airport....

Pfizer is hoping the Limbaugh "dittohead" following will give a boost to
sales. "His listeners will buy into anything he says, so we're hoping
that transfers into them buying our product. With a doctor's
prescription, of course."

Previous Viagra spokesmen have included Senator Bob Dole and NASCAR
driver Mark Martin. The addition of the controversial radio personality
to the Pfizer stable seems to indicate the drug manufacturer intends to
target an increasingly conservative demographic.

However, Pfizer's representative denied reports that ultra-right-wing
commentator and author Ann Coulter was also being wooed to push the
erection-enhancing medication. "We feel that would be antithetical. As
clinically effective as Viagra has proven to be, it has its limits."
