The following is an absolutely true story. A word of warning - it's not for the squeamish.
Here in NYC, I freelanced for many years for a man (now deceased) who had a large company very well-known in the theatrical industry. My boss had an unhappy marriage, so he would try and stick his pecker into anything in a skirt. This was just before Viagra came out. My boss (whom I'll call Bob) was probably in his early sixties at that time, and was starting to suffer from what we now refer to as "erectile dysfunction."
He went to a doctor, and received a prescription for a medication
that he actually had to inject into his penis! Yep - you read that right. He would tie a thin rubber tube around his ol' Johnson, then in went the needle. Just like a junkie.
Well, one night Bob was rushed to the hospital, and he really had a close call. It seems he had decided to give himself a
quadruple dose of Boner-In-A-Bottle without regard for what the side effects could be. In this case, it was almost fatal. When the ER doctor asked him why the hell he did such a foolish thing, his reply was, "Gee - I thought it would make me bigger!" The doctor said he was lucky he was still alive, and to never again do something so dangerous.
But, that's how Bob was. He passed away in the Spring of 2011 at the age of 87. God, the stories we could tell...
Yeah, I'd take Viagra or Cialis over the spike any day!
