Thanks, Viagra

You might not know this, but the number one side-effect of the drug Viagra is not sixty-something-year-old women who have to go find another excuse not to have sex with their aged male counterparts. Although that might be a little true, its actually decreased vision. Which makes that old saying just a little more true: 'If you keep doing that, you're going to go blind!' At work, we get a lot of older guys coming in complaining of decreased vision, and of course they aren't going to tell me about their new medication, partly because I'm a girl, but mostly they just don't think they're related, so they don't mention it. But when faced with the reality that their vision has dropped from 20/20 to 20/40 and the only solution is to stop taking Viagra, men know that there is only one thing to do: Make due with 20/40 vision. In some ways, maybe its not such a negative side effect-- With Viagra, you can get an erection. And you can barely see those wrinkles on your wife's face, which means you can keep an erection. Which is why men everywhere should be saying Thanks, Viagra.
