— "Doc, you've gotta help me! My wife just isn't
interested in sex anymore. Haven't you got a pill or something I can give
her?" "Look, I can't prescribe..."
— "Doc, we've been friends for years. Have you
ever seen me this upset? I am desperate! I can't think; I can't concentrate; my
life is going utterly to hell! You've got to help me."
— The doctor opens his desk drawer and removes a small
bottle of pills. "Ordinarily, I wouldn't do this. These are experimental;
the tests so far indicate that they're VERY powerful. Don't give her more than
ONE, understand? Just ONE."
— "I don't know, doc, she's awfully cold..."
— "One. No more. In her coffee. Okay?"
— "Um... Okay."
— The guy expresses gratitude and leaves for home,
where his wife has dinner waiting. When dinner is finished, she goes to the
kitchen to bring dessert. The man hastily pulls the pills from his pocket and
drops one into his wife's coffee. He reflects for a moment, hesitates, then
drops in a second pill. And then he begins to worry. The doctor did say they
were powerful. Then inspiration strikes he drops one pill into his own coffee.
His wife returns with the shortcake and they enjoy their dessert and coffee.
Sure enough, a few minutes after they finish, his wife shudders a little, sighs
deeply and heavily, and a strange look comes over her. In a near whisper and a
tone of voice he has never heard her use before, she says, "I...need... a
man..."
— His eyes glitter and his hands tremble as he
replies, "Me... Too..."
