SEX MAKES PEOPLE BLIND?

FDA Looking Into Blindness-Viagra Link

WASHINGTON (AP)- Federal health officials are examining reports of
blindness among some men using the impotence drug Viagra.

The Food and Drug Administration still is investigating, 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...

"We take this seriously," said FDA's Cruzan....

etc. etc.

Glenn,

What exactly are we to "Consider and Choose With Confidence" in this
context?

Are you endorsing Viagra?

Oh, this one is getting me into as much trouble as it is funny.

Of course, the signature, including "Consider and Choose with
Confidence"  is automatic...even when laughing at an very slightly
off-color joke.  And now:
