Stiff Discipline After Schoolboys' Viagra Prank

LONDON - Six British schoolboys were rushed to hospital after taking the erection-enhancing drug Viagra at lunchtime for a dare, the school said on Thursday.

Forest School in Winnersh, southern England said paramedics were called after a fellow student told teachers about the 13-year-olds' prank.

"It is believed that a pupil brought the tablets in from home into the all-boys school and shared them with five friends," the local education authority said in a statement.

The Sun newspaper quoted a source at the school as saying: "By the time the afternoon lessons began, there was no hiding what they had done."

Paramedics took the six squirming boys to the nearby Royal Berkshire Hospital, where they were monitored until the effects wore off.

"The school has a strict no drugs policy and a pupil will be temporarily excluded for actions which placed other pupils at risk," the education authority added.

That's hysterical!! Kids that age have trouble...errr...need to be careful wearing jogging pants to school as it is. I guess that they weren't the brightest crayons in the box...



Must have looked like a boy scout troop meeting...everybody pitching tents.

Aren't Brits always told to keep a stiff upper lip? Maybe they read the label wrong.

Can you imagine being one of the boys parents and getting that phone call?

I used to work on a computer desk for a local food store. One night I was called (by accident, they thought I was security) because a store staffer found an empty prescription bottle for viagra. We figured that the shoplifter should be easy to spot and catch if he took all ten at once!

Building sets

Leave it to the Brits to come up with a new slant on progress and the times.

When I was a kid that age, we used to build things with our Erector Sets and Lincoln Logs. Now these guys have taken it to a new level: Take a pill and have it stand out the rest of the afternoon! I hope the school comes down hard on them......
