| In pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that after considering Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. In a separate announcement Pfizer Corp. announced today that VIAGRA will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer.

The name of the new drug was "Xyklon". |

| #1 it gives new meaning to "cocktails", "highballs" A sorry day indeed, when giraffes can no longer walk into a bar and shout, "The highballs are on me!" Pepsi will market the new concoction as: "MOUNT & DO I fail to see where this will change things in the least for ventriloquists. After all, they'll mount anything. At least this will lend new cachet to those previously considered as "hard drinkers." However, some things never change. Whatever form impotency cures take, those who have trouble swallowing will still end up with a stiff neck. |
