[b]FDA Looking Into Blindness-Viagra Link[/b]

Federal health officials are examining rare reports of blindness among some men using the impotence drug Viagra.
The Food and Drug Administration still is investigating, but has no evidence yet that the drug is to blame, said spokeswoman Susan Cruzan.
This type of blindness is called NAION, or non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. It can occur in men who are diabetic or have heart disease, the same conditions that can cause impotence and thus lead to Viagra use.
The FDA has 50 reports of the blindness. Viagra has been taken by more than 23 million men worldwide.
“We take this seriously,” said FDA’s Cruzan.
FDA is working with Viagra manufacturer Pfizer Inc. to determine what, if any, information about the condition should be added to the drug’s label.

uh, what’s the problem with combining the blue pill with some Heaven water? Thought that would have increased the pleasure so to speak… wouldn’t it?

Here in America, all you find in your hotel room is a Bible. I think Viagra is an improvement.

True story I heard from a sales guy. One of his coworkers stayed in a nice hotel in the US and was getting packed up to depart. He dropped something on the floor that rolled under the bed. When he got down on hands and knees to retrieve it his hand bumped something larger under the bed and he pulled it out.
It was the empty box for a large sex toy with authentic detailing (if you know what I mean ).
He was worried that the housekeepers might find it and blame it on him since he was a frequent guest who’d grown to know many of the staff by name.
Afraid to put it back under the bed or leave it in the trash, he out it in his carry-on bag to dispose of it later somewhere else.
He drove the rental car to the airport and went through security.
He was mortified when the security screeners had to go through his bag and first thing they pulled out in front of ther passengers was the “toy” box — he’d completely forgotten about it.

If you were to interview the housekeeping crews of hotels, you would hear of wondrous and interesting things left behind at hotels, even the classiest ones!!

Thanks for the links Gregor! I *knew* that I was not unique on thinking how bad these PPT slideshows are and can get. In most instances a few slides would transmit the essence of a presentation, but it does look like that more slides you produce the better your chances of promotion. Never think of the fact that you just send your audience to sleep!

These sales meetings that I go to normally last 3 days, I bet we can better use those days on hands-on sessions with equipment, exchanging “war stories” or even just on the beach or the bar!
