The headline should have been...
What should the headline of this CNN article been?

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/04/health/er...index.html

Quote:His vision changed after he took an erectile dysfunction drug
Quote:A man's vision changed dramatically after he took a gulp of a drug he bought online that is commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction.

According to a case report published this month, the 31-year-old purchased an unspecified form of sildenafil citrate -- the same active ingredient in Viagra -- from an online "nonpharmacy source." He drank directly from the bottle and immediately began to see flashes of light in both eyes, and his vision became tinted red.

I'm more concerned about why he needs it at the age of thirty-one. Goodness gracious.

It' s hard to understand how Viagra could improve your vision.

It' s easier to understand it making you a bit cockeyed.

Stiff penalty for misuse of drug.

All kidding aside, wasn't there a side effect in the early days of Viagra of it turning your vision blue?

Seeing red sounds like all the blood went up instead of down below.

So the best I can do for a headline is maybe:
"What's red, white and blue all over?"

Okay, never mind.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?

Sounds like he's having a stroke.

Maybe he took more than the recommended dose of 60 mg. I have a friend who told me that that's the recommended dosage. Big Grin

Or maybe it isn't even the drug thought he was getting.

21 YO? I could still break plate glass, in those days.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
