gw, <<maybe we should ask elaine, she's knowledgable in the moonshine area maybe she can enlighten us on the blackmarket use. >> Funny!! I look for that "other product" to be sold on college street corners very soon. Some enterprising young marketing student will go on the internet and write a bogus complaint to some cyber doc and "wa lah" he will have a prescription for "that pill" emailed to him within the hour. Next day, all over the campus guys will be proclaiming what great sex they were able to have from taking a single pill. (like 18 yr olds would know great sex if it slapped them in the face). Doesn't matter though, a "craze" will have begun. Young marketing student counts his double dollars and makes another order to that same doc who has been prescribing "that pill" so fast and furious that he never notices the same name 2 days in a row. Ok this time, the guys on campus decide to double their pleasure, double their fun...let's take 2 with our Bud Lights. This "very real" scenario is a recipe for disaster. Then, as you and MK have both pointed out, it will be on all the news programs..Baba Walters mourning the death of that "poor college freshman who took "the sex pill" as part of his Frat hazing" That "football star who wanted to impress the guys with his prowess." It will happen, and when it does, don't look for the media to be near as complimentary of PFE then.. A lawsuit waiting to happen. I do not see "that pill" ever being as big as my pa's "shine" but then, there was no competition for our "shine"..there IS competition for "that other product"! Muse, ever the wall flower, will be waiting for the true patients and it will be the "fix" of choice. Safe, effective, reliable...MUSE. OT*WOW--that was really good! (thought I'd go ahead and tell myself that since I am the only one who usually responds to my posts!)* Sorry about posting after I told myself I would quit, but I did see my name mentioned and it would be just plain rude to not respond! Have a great evening all... E'Lane btw--Dr. Mike..I am going to be in NJ this weekend, think you could arrange a tour of the "new, soon to be FDA approved" Vivus plant. Maybe do a little trick or treating for samples??
