Hey gang,
This whole Viagra deal has got me bummed out. Michael Kay, New York Yankee TV announcer, was recently discussing the purely unintentional faux pas, that a baseball announcer might make during a Yankee-Texas Ranger game in Arlington, TX.
Of course, Ranger first baseman Rafael Palmiero is a famous commercial spokesman for Viagra, right along with former Sen. Bob Dole (Mr. "E.D."!). Anyway, Michael Kay is concerned that if Rafael Palmiero connects off of, say, a Roger Clemons fastball, and the ball hits the Viagra billboard on the top of the right field fence, Mr. Kay might blurt out in the excitement of the moment: "Wow! Palmiero really got good wood on that one!" Ugh!
Then again, it was either Jay Leno or David Letterman, who announced on their latenight show, that one of the other articles of impeachment considered to be filed against former President Bill Clinton, was for allegedly breaking into Bob Dole's senate office and purloining the senator's extensive supply of Viagra! Boo!
I'll leave you with a joke my hero, Bob Rooney, told to Sheriff Paterson over a beer at the Blue Whale:
"Hey, George, did you know that Dr. Hoffman wrote Willie Loomis a prescription for that new, wonder drug, Viagra ?"
"No fooling, Bob? How did Collinsport's number one Cassanova make out after he took the pill?"
"Not too well, George. You see, the pill became temporarily lodged in Willie's throat."
"Wow! Is Willie okay?"
"Sure, George, Willie's okay. However, Willie had one heck of a 'stiff' neck after he finally swallowed the new blue wonder pill!" Double boo!
Bob the Bartender, who apologizes for that hokey joke, but I just couldn't resist!
