Did you hear about the skid of Viagra stolen from a distribution facility?

Warning...this one is not suitable for children, but I thought Ann would appreciate it:A man finally gets his prescription for Viagra. Anxious to try it out, he takes one as soon as he gets home, and waits for his wife to come home from work, but, in his excitement he forgets and leaves the package open on the table and his c ockatiel eats all of them.Seeing the results and panicking the man grabs the bird and stuffs him into the freezer to cool off.Just as his wife comes home, the Viagra kicks in and it's hours later before he remembers the c ockatiel. He runs and looks in the freezer expecting the worst, only to find the bird breathing heavily, drained with sweat and totally exhausted."What happened?" the man asks, "You were in there for hours and yet you're not only alive but you're sweating like crazy?"The c ockatiel pants: "Man, have you ever tried to pry apart the legs of a frozen chicken?"
