Man of Steel, Indeed

You know those Cialis ads that warn of the possibility of four-hour erections? Well, that's nothing compared to this guy, who suffered from a 10-year erection! It was caused by a faulty penile implant, which was always ready for business. Lest this sound like a bad joke, consider:
The Dura-II is designed to allow impotent men to position the penis upward for sex, then lower it.

But Lennon could not position his penis downward. He said he could no longer hug people, ride a bike, swim or wear bathing trunks because of the pain and embarrassment. He has become a recluse and is uncomfortable being around his grandchildren, his lawyer said.

The result of all this was a lawsuit that garnered a $400,000 award.

    Yeah, those ads do make people snicker but having a stiffy gets to be painful after a while. In EMT training we learned to look for that as a sign of spinal injury (on men of course). On the other hand, it is quite amazing the lengths that we men will go to in order to make that little guy work, even if it is purely for our own edification (rim shot).
