Pork better than Viagra? Argentine President says so after a good weekend

[UrbScotty]

Argentina's president recommended pork as an alternative to Viagra Wednesday, saying she spent a satisfying weekend with her husband after eating barbecued pork.

"I've just been told something I didn't know; that eating pork improves your sex life ... I'd say it's a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take Viagra," President Cristina Fernandez said to leaders of the pig farming industry.

She said she recently ate pork and "things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true."

Argentines are the world's biggest per capita consumers of beef, but the government has sought to promote pork as an alternative in recent years due to rising steak prices and as a way to diversify the meat industry.

1. Can you imagine Michelle Obama saying something like that to an audience?

Other countries seem to have a more lighthearted view of sexual comments than in the USA. I'm assuming that her comment went over without too much upset.

2. Isn't that redundant or sumpin'?

.
I thought the whole purpose of Viagra was to help you pork better.

My girlfriend in the early 80's was going for her third Master's in
psychology. Her thesis was on aphrodisiacs, and she used me as her
"test subject" (yes, yes, I CAN pick 'em!!). We used all sorts
of exotic substances, including yohimbe bark and powdered horns of
some sort, but the absolute BEST results came after ingesting regular
pimento-stuffed green olives. Subjective? Hell, yeah... but an undeniable
and powerful effect.
.
Of course, the effect was extremely short-lived... ending when she handed
me several more and said, "You're gonna need a LOT more for that mar-TEENY!"
.
True story.

.
No, wait... that was two other people.
.
No, REALLY!!!!

5. Are we SURE it's barbecued pork? Or just an ingredient in the sauce?

If it's GOT to be barbecued pork, how are we to be sure President Fernandez' chef didn't just slip a little weed into the sauce?

OTOH, imagine if it could be any pork product. "Bacon: Is there ANYTHING it can't do?"

6. What's a little sex between Presidents?

Her husband of course was her predecessor and is her likely successor. They seem to have this nice little deal where husband and wife jointly rule the country for over a decade
