Viagra Ruled Kosher for Passover

[Colorado Blue]

"A leading Israeli rabbi has ruled that the anti-impotency pill Viagra can be taken by Jews on Passover, reversing a previous ban.
Viagra had been deemed not kosher since 1998 under strict dietary laws over the week-long Jewish spring holiday.

Rabbi Mordechai Eliahu said the pill can be swallowed if it is encased in a special soluble kosher capsule first.

Viagra's Israeli manufacturers said they sought an answer after receiving queries from worried religious men."

I wish my grandfather were still alive. He was thrown out of the old folks' home for bothering women - when he was in his late '80's.

He would have said, "Viagra, schmiagra. But nu, what could be bad? Good Pesach!"

1. Not surprised

I guess it is kosher because of the way it is cut...er...I mean, created?! ;)

2. Created. I like that word better. Better, I like the eternal

flexibility, if you will, of rabbinical law:)

Ever on the cutting - ooops - I mean - CREATING - edge:)
