Erectile dysfunction affects 18 percent of U.S. men
"A study published Thursday found that about 18 percent of U.S. men age 20 and up suffer from erectile dysfunction -- and the condition is strongly linked to a sedentary lifestyle of little physical exercise, poor diet and lots of television"

Glad to be one of the 82%
:woohoo:

I'm curious though; how many of the 18% are republicans?

2. Meat causes clogged pipes. Clogged pipes keep your junk from working.

A lot of those 18% need to stop eating unhealthy shit.

...and I'm here to tell you that meat puts wood in your... um, you know. Although there does seem to be a contradiction there. But at 51 I'm happy to say that all the bits still work just fine, thank you very much. Not that anyone but me cares, I suppose. :-(

6. It's a risk factor though, both for the clogged pipes and for weight gain and diabetes, which also
can put the Out Of Order sign up on a guy's zipper.

8. Sort of like Lucky Jeans?
When you unzip them, there's a tag sewn next to the zipper on the inside that reads "Lucky you"

3. So if your intromittent apparatus takes up 50% of your body mass, you
should be safe, then? I mean, at worst, you've still got 32% function, right?


Just wondering....

9. But no one mentions the percentage of women it affects
If the men who suffer from erectile dysfunction think of the women, their problem might just resolve itself.

11. Most of them must be Republicans, you ever notice
all the advertisements on Faux and Nascar. Well Bush still has a 28% approval rating so I would give him about 10% women and the other 18% are the men.

12. Wednesday at school I was working at my desk while proctoring a test and got a big ol boner
It was awkward as hell. I was going commando that day, too. I'm 43 years old so I shouldn't be getting boners for no reason. We're talking serious wood, too. Students kept asking me for help the second it happened and I had to scoot up close to the desk and motion for them to walk over to me for their questions, which you're really not supposed to do during standardized testing.

Sheesh that was inconvenient!
