PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Two years before Viagra hit the pharmacy shelves, Charles Lennon got a penile implant to overcome his impotence -- but he's regretted it ever since because the steel and plastic device never worked right.
While it was supposed to allow him to position his penis up for sex, then down the rest of the time, he's been unable to lower it.
Lennon's 10-year erection has now won him a $400,000 judgment against the company that made the implant.
The 68-year-old Rhode Island man said the implant is embarrassing and has led him to become a recluse. He's in pain and is uncomfortable being around his grandchildren.
Because of other health problems, he can't get the device removed, the man argued.
The maker of the implant, which went bankrupt, declined comment.

Too bad. Looks like Rush Limbaugh needs one.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Rush Limbaugh could see a deal with prosecutors in a long-running prescription fraud case collapse after authorities found a bottle of Viagra in his bag at Palm Beach International Airport. The prescription was not in his name.
Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours Monday at the airport after returning from a vacation in the Dominican Republic. Customs officials found the Viagra in his luggage but his name was not on the prescription, said
Paul Miller, a spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
Miller said the alleged violation could be a second-degree misdemeanor. The sheriff's office was investigating and will soon turn the case over to the state attorney's office, which had no immediate comment Tuesday.
Under the deal reached last month with prosecutors, Limbaugh was not to be arrested for any infraction for 18 months in exchange for authorities deferring a charge of "doctor shopping." Prosecutors had alleged the conservative talk-show host illegally deceived multiple physicians to receive overlapping painkiller prescriptions.
Limbaugh also must submit to random drug tests and continue treatment for his admitted addiction to painkillers.
Limbaugh's doctor had prescribed the Viagra, but it was "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes," Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, said in a statement.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection examined the 55-year-old radio commentator's luggage after his private plane landed at the airport, Miller said.
Investigators confiscated the drugs, which treat erectile dysfunction. Limbaugh was released without being charged.

I reserve detailed comment on the Limpbaugh story until further information is released.  I don't know much about airport security these days, but searching the plane and/or him and detaining him for having viagra (no matter who's name was on the bottle) sounds like he's being targeted by the local constabulary & the states atty. Discraceful at this point. The offence is only a mis-demeanor at best, and will be dropped if the doctor confirms his story that the prescription was meant for him. Now if he had the pills in an un-marked bottle, there would have been NO issue at all as the substance is not contriband. Stupid non-sencical crap. 
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

If you don't know much about airport security, especially a foreign flight, how are you qualified to comment? FYI, customs can and will search everything on you or associated with you; if you're found with so much as an apple in a bag you can be detained and fined up to $10,000.

Untrue. From the USCBP website:
Quote:
Prescription medications should be in their original containers, it is advised that you travel with no more than personal use quantities, a rule of thumb is no more than a 60 day supply. If medications or devices are not in their original containers, you should have a copy of your prescription with you.
