Police are still searching for this hardened criminal.

[–] grayman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

He had nerves of steel, but now he's stiff as a board. He took one hard look at everything but realized he got shafted.

"so. What're you in for?"
"I tried boosting a pharmacy?"

"Viagra."

Someone was planning for a fun weekend

Guess he’s the bottom.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'd think the top would steal the Viagra and the bottom would steal the poppers.

Glad to see Florida man is still working hard.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago

He's going to be working super hard once he gets his influx of Viagra.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Just give me all the Viagra you have. Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of Viagra." What I said was, "Give me all the Viagra you have." Do you understand?

I'd like to remind everyone of this excellent episode from Destin.

[–] sky@codesink.io 3 points 2 years ago

to be fair the shit is expensive and insurance won't often cover it

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

To be fair, as the article says it was a mixture of prescription drugs.

It wasn't about viagra per se, but about satuff they could probably easily resell. Or at least thought they could.

Sounds like having a hard-on for a hard-on. Hard-on redundancy.
