Ten years ago today, Viagra got the Food and Drug Administration's stamp of approval. Here are some facts about the little blue pill:
• Roughly 1 billion Viagra tablets have been doled out since the drug debuted.
• An average of about three Viagra tablets were dispensed each second between its launch and the end of last year.
• Thirty-five million men worldwide have used Viagra, which remains the most commonly prescribed drug for erectile dysfunction.
• The drug has been evaluated in more than 120 clinical trials involving more than 16,000 men.
• Viagra was also tested in about 3,000 women as a potential treatment for sexual arousal disorders. But the trials were "inconclusive," and Pfizer announced in 2004 that it had stopped them.

That is new, news...
That’s 35 million guys who can see eye to eye...with themselves.
An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his help in reviving her husband’s libido.
“What about trying Viagra?” asks the doctor .
“Not a chance,” she said . “He won’t even take an aspirin” .
“Not a problem,” replied the doctor . “Give him an Irish Viagra. It’s when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee . He won’t even taste it . Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went.”
It wasn’t a week later that she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to the progress . The poor dear exclaimed, “Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T’was horrid! Just terrible, Doctor!”
“Really? What happened?” asked the doctor.
“Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate . He jumped straight up, with a twinkle in his eye, and with his pants a-bulging fiercely! With one swoop of his arm, he sent the cups and tablecloth flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there, took me passionately on the tabletop! It was a nightmare, I tell you! An absolute nightmare!”
“Why so terrible?” asked the doctor. “Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasn’t good”?
“T’was the best sex I’ve had in 25 years! But sure as I’m sittin’ here, I’ll never be able to show me face in Starbucks again!”
It must’ve been hard to come up with that, JD.
ROFL!

Who would think that I might not possibly know that:
• Roughly 1 billion Viagra tablets have been doled out since the drug debuted.
• An average of about three Viagra tablets were dispensed each second between its launch and the end of last year.
• Thirty-five million men worldwide have used Viagra, which remains the most commonly prescribed drug for erectile dysfunction.
• The drug has been evaluated in more than 120 clinical trials involving more than 16,000 men.
• Viagra was also tested in about 3,000 women as a potential treatment for sexual arousal disorders. But the trials were "inconclusive," and Pfizer announced in 2004 that it had stopped them.
That is erecting a marketing juggernaut.
