Some side effects?

| | Comments (2)

Watching the news the other night, I caught an ad for a prescription drug called Mirapex, used to treat restless leg syndrome.

At the end of the commercial, the announcer was rattling off the side effects -- the usual stuff about being drowsy and whatnot -- when she intoned that patients who experience "gambling, sexual or other intense urges" should report them to his or her doctor.

As Major Kong said in the classic satire "Dr. Strangelove," "A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

I like the fact that there were nylon stockings in that survival kit.

Oh, and a miniature combination bible/Russian/English Dictionary.
