Justice was meted out swiftly yesterday in the case of Pfizer vs. the Long Island Viagra enthusiast who gets his kicks cruising around Manhattan with a 25-foot decommissioned missile emblazoned with the priceless message 'Viva Viagra.' Yesterday we learned that the man, 48-year-old Arye Sachs, had no trouble getting the missile in and out of Manhattan through the tunnels because police were just so tickled by the gag. Not amused, of course, were the suits at Pfizer who, instead dismissing their overpaid marketing staff and hiring the obviously inspired Sachs, unleashed the lawyers. Now Sachs has to find a way to fill the empty hours that doesn't involve promoting a pharmaceutical company. And it gets worse—the humorless judge also ordered Sachs to abandon his hilarious plan to distribute politically-themed Viagra condoms. What's next—no more sidesplitting Viagra joke emails???
