In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. Examples, the trade name of Tylenol has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil, is also called Amoxicillin, and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. Considered names: Mycoxafloppin, Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

Pfizer Corp announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.  as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, & it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO.

Thought for the day:  There's more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there will be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

If you don't send this to five, old friends right away, there will be five fewer people laughing in the world!

From New York with love ....

One night four college students were partying until late and did not study for a test which was scheduled for the next day.

In the morning, they thought of a plan.

They made themselves look as dirty as possible, with grease and dirt.

They then went to the teacher and said that they had gone to a wedding last night and on their return, a tire burst on their car and they had to push the car all the way back home and that they were in no condition to do the test.

The teacher kindly allowed them to do a re-test after 3 days.

They thanked him and said they would be ready by that time.

On the third day, they went for their test.

The teacher said that as this was a Special Condition Test, all four were required to sit in separate classrooms.

They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last 3 days...

 

 

The test consisted of 1 single question, worth a total of 100 Marks........

 

 Q. 1. Which tire?

       a) Front Left           b) Front Right

       c) Back Left            d) Back Right

 

I met Renee in First Grade in New York City Catholic School circa 35 years ago in Manhattan. It is her smile I shall never forget and how I want to remember her face. Her twin is Colette. We graduated from same High School in New York. They were quite a dynamic duo. My heart goes to Colette and family.

Rest in peace old friend.

Going to be busy as usual in New York City. Have many people to meet and places to go...all over the place.  Luckily transport is a snap and characters on board make for great entertainment. 

Here's a few things of what's on my short agenda:

Sunday visiting my best friend and her three gorgeous children in Lido Beach on Long Island. Takes me about 1 hour from Manhattan to get there. I love chillin' out on board Long Island Railroad watching those who act wacky in Manhattan suddenly become well behaved exit Jamaica, Queens station ;-P

22nd High School Reunion. Going to be at my high school in Manhattan a block away from my Mom's apartment.  After will go out bar hopping with my childhood classmate friend.  Last time we did that I ended up walking home without shoes in sub zero weather. Hate when that happens!

Meeting for first time with his wife a "Web 2.0" long time contact. Giving them a native New Yorker tour of less known hot spots with fran-tastic views. They have been to NYC many times but I'm going to surprise them with a few spots.

I can do my Manhattan tours in a flash. I've also hit the five boroughs in one day. It's not for the faint at heart or slow paced. Where I walk no grass grows. I kind of walk and talk fast.  When taking family and friends around NYC I usually offer them a side trip walks around West Harlem, South Bronx and other assorted rough around the edges hide-a-ways of Brooklyn and Queens. Until this day the only people in past 39 years to take me up on the offer were my cousins from Palermo, Sicily. They did though not want me to walk them around. They said seeing from taste of subway rides and platforms was enough! :-P

I always get asked about Ground Zero.  I take people there even though it makes me sad and do so with a heavy heart. Since Wall Street is usually on my tour I give them option to visit Ground Zero.

40th Birthday happens to be around this time. I never have too many set plans in NYC. It's not that kind of city ;-)

My hometown New York City, there is no other place like it. You must see and experience it, if only once in your lifetime.

I have another Posterous www.posterous.com/newyorkology  Will start posting all things New York when remember. Until then please feel free to enjoy In Vino Veritas...

I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms...
