WASHINGTON- Argentine scientists announced that the male impotence drug Viagra may be useful in alleviating jet-lag.

Jet lag is caused by flying across multiple time zones and can disturb one’s sleeping pattern which can lead to insomnia, sleepiness and concentration problems.

By studying hamsters, researchers Patricia Agostino, Santiago Plano and Diego Golombek of the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes in Buenos Aires administered Viagra to hamsters at night and then switched on bright lights six hours earlier to model an eastbound flight.

However, the drug eased the subjects handle jet lag only when they took the samples before the equivalent of an eastbound flight and not the opposite when the delayed turning on the lights to imitate a westbound flight.

But I don’t want a mini-tent for 6 hours.

[TommyDale]

[HEY4QDEMS]

I guess membership in the mile high club will be on the rise.

[Ben Mugged]

Yeah but you can’t put the tray down......

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Usually I just end a flight with a stiff neck.

By studying hamsters

The female hamsters are pretty sick of the study.

"We have arrived at O'Hare International Airport.
Gentlemen, please return your stewardess to her full upright position."

[Red Badger]

Yeah, Doc, I need the Viagra because I fly a lot!............Ya’know what I mean?......

[EEDUDE]

Usually I just end a flight with a stiff neck.

Thanks for a much needed laugh!

"We have arrived at O'Hare International Airport. Gentlemen, please return your stewardess to her full upright position."

I nominate the collection of motion sickness bags to the guest worker program, I honestly think that this is truely a job that Americans will no longer do.

[Andonius_99]

Maybe it helps because a certain part of the anatomy reaches the next time zone before you do...

[LYSandra]

So many lines...so little time!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I’d call that truth in advertising.

[nuconvert]

LoL. Funny headline

[manic4organic]

I knew this would be a fun thread when I saw the headline. Much needed humor break.

[HEY4QDEMS]

So many lines...so little time!

According to the label, we've got four to six hours.

Are we clear for take off?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Note: “If you experience a ‘jet lag’ lasting longer than four hours, please immediately contact your doctor.”

True story:

My wife and I went to a cocktail party a couples years ago - 5 couple in total.

The host (husband) gave all the boys Viagra in the kitchen about 30 minutes before dinner - we all thought it was funny.

About half way through the appetizers the boys started swapping looks at each other - let’s just say the lumber arrived.. (pardon?)

Anyway - to end the story - the party broke up early - before dessert - and the next day we all met for breakfast at a restaurant.

The girls talked at 100 miles per hour - the boys just sat there - eating like hounds - waiting to go home and get some sleep.

The wonders of Viagra.

Membership in the mile high club is about to increase.

[Dumpster Baby]

Sportin' some big wood here.

[VRWCmember]

So, Viagra helps you to get up in the morning?

[Vanbasten]

LOL!

Good one.

[lovecraft]

Gentlemen, please return your stewardess to her full upright position.

Uhhhhh, have you seen the stewardesses lately? If you've seen better than a wrinkley sourpuss with an attitude problem, please tell me what airline you're flying. It sure is hell ain't US Air. :-)

[listenhillary]

I don’t know about getting up, but it makes it awfully hard to roll out of bed.

[DBrow]

Hamsters on Viagra...

[umgud]

Somebody broke into a local drug store and stole all the Viagra. Cops are looking for hardened criminals.

[HEY4QDEMS]

I recommend "Hooters Air"

[Natural Law]

Because you can sleep better with a kick-stand?

[umgud]

Hamsters on Viagra...

Jennifer Flowers said that Bubba was hung like a hampster.......

[listenhillary]

A good band name

[NoBullZone]

>Uhhhhh, have you seen the stewardesses lately? If you’ve seen better than a wrinkley sourpuss with an attitude problem, please tell me what airline you’re flying. It sure is hell ain’t US Air. :-)

Southwest - usually young, cute and in shorts with a chipper attitude.

[lovecraft]

I recommend "Hooters Air"

"I believe I can flyyyyyyyy............"

[VictoryGal]

* Upright and locked position... check.
* Turn off all electronic devices — yes, including the one that buzzes, sir.
* New meaning for “traveling pants”.

Thank you! Try the veal! Tip your waitress!

[listenhillary]

Nice pouch.

[lovecraft]

Southwest - Unfortunately they don’t have that many routes from my airport in SC. But when I head west from DFW, I usually try to take them whenever I can. That ain’t often enough I’m afraid.

[tiredoflaundry]

“jet lag”, Is that what they are calling it now?

[mngran]

So that’s what Rush was doing with Viagra in his suitcase, fighting off jetlag! (Hey whatever happened to those charges? I stopped paying attention.)

[andy58-in-nh]

Makes me want to fly United.

[El Gato]

If you've seen better than a wrinkley sourpuss with an attitude problem, please tell me what airline you're flying

On a recent flight from Orlando to Houston on Continental, 3 of 4 stews were Sweet Young Thangs. One older and somewhat chubby, but not wrinkly or sour and only chubby, not the blob that ate Chicago. Next leg on the little jet had a male steward.

I recommend "Hooters Air"

I guess that's fine if you don't mind jailbait.

[lovecraft]

Maybe I’m in some weird Twilight Zone that on every plane I get on is being serviced by the Crypt Keeper. Well, there was this flight about 3 trips ago that had this ugly little black stewardess who was “trying” (emphasis on the try) to be funny on the intercom...not attractive, but at least she was trying to grow a sense of humor.....maybe I’m just cursed.

[FRForever]

> Gentlemen, please return your stewardess to her full upright position.

Sounds to me like “Virgin Atlantic” might be worth a try under this plan...

> If you’ve seen better than a wrinkley sourpuss with an attitude problem, please tell me what airline you’re flying. It sure is hell ain’t US Air. :-)

All the “budget” airlines hire a much younger cabin staff to lower costs: EasyJet, JetBlue, Southwest, etc. Generally pretty easy on the eyes... I only hope that at least the mechanical crews aren’t fresh out of vo-tech school...

[agent_delta]

That’s not a jet.

Ping

[BJClinton]

I guess that's fine if you don't mind jailbait.

She's at least 18, sheesh.

[synbad600]

Talk about carry-on luggage.

[avacado]

"The female hamsters are pretty sick of the study."

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ErnBatavia]

You said member.

It's cool, so long as it wasn't preceded by "hot throbbing"...
