1. It is a fancy name for impotence
Just like "overactive bladder" is a fancy name for incontinence.

Drug companies use benign sounding euphemisms to avoid embarassing the patients, and boost their sales. They should take a hint from the movie "Crazy People" and just be up front with people in their ads (plus make the ads a whole lot more interesting).


You want to get it on but your manhood just hangs there? Try Viagra and you'll have a boner for up to four hours!

5. Isn't it though?
I can honestly say that's the first time I've ever seen one of those things dance, at least on its own. :rofl:

How about some banana sex?

11. Initially I thought I had seen it before
but upon reflection, I realized I hadn't.

I give that one the vote for the nastiest smilie, but only because of the "happy ending."

21. From what I've seen of posts in here
A skyscraper or the Washington Monument can play upon a guy's imagination, so it isn't all that difficult. :rofl:

6. You talkin' about the ones
with a guy named Tom or somethin', and they drop in all these buzzwords like "stiff" and stuff?

They're trying to sound tongue-in-cheek. They fail. :puke:

18. Not necessarily
Drug firms, among others, run huge ad campaigns (1.) for new products that might appeal to a lot of people (allergy sufferers, for instance), and (2.) when they're in... uh, stiff competition with another drug firm that has a similar product. The latter is the case with the rod modifiers.

(I just made that up.) :7

33. Picture a lap dance
Mr. Happy's reaction is to stop snoring long enough to smack the snooze button and going back to sleep. That may give you an idea of ED.

34. It's a technical term in the construction business
It's shorthand for "The impressive tower we were building? Well, we can't. Sorry."
