Yeah, don't ya just love all of these commercials on TV that are tryin' to convince ya to tell your doctor to give you a prescription for their pill. Hell, half the time, the commercial doesn't even give you a good idea of what their pill is supposed to do for ya! Which could lead to an interesting visit to the doctor, don'tcha know ...
{At the offices of Drs. Beaver, Sand & Cockburn}
The Wiz: "Doc ... I saw this new wonder medication on TV the other night and you need to prescribe it for me."
Dr. Beaver: "Which one was it?"
The Wiz: "I don't remember."
Dr. Beaver: "Well, what does it do?"
The Wiz: "I'm not sure."
Dr. Beaver: "What was the commercial like ... what did it say?"
The Wiz: "Well, it starts off with this woman who really looks like she's down in the dumps. She doesn't seem like she has much to live for, and then she takes this blue & white pill ... SHAZAM! ... she's all of a sudden feelin' great and is the life of the party!"
Dr. Beaver: "Ah, that's Fukitol ...
... it clears up ... uh ... vaginal problems."
The Wiz: "OH ... nevermind." 
And, at the end of these commercials, they always warn you about the potential side effects of taking their pill - coma leading to death, quick death, lingering death, and more death. Damn, we must be the most medicated people on the planet!
