    Saw this in todays Mirror the Irish goverment forked out 2 million Euro's of taxpayers money on Viagra for medical card holders. That equates to 77000 of the little blue pills. Unbeliviable. I never even seen one of the buggers and the whole country is taken em.

    Its not just oldies who hold medical cards. In fact, I think I have one lying around here. The tales of drinks spiked with viagra at camping trips bring a tear to thine eye...

    If they spent more time holding their dicks instead of just holding their medical cards then maybe they wouldn't need Viagra in the first place.

    I'm sure I can get the government a better price on Viagra. Sure don't I get at least 5 emails a day offering them for WAY less than €26 a pill!
