I had a little time to kill at Cancun airport last week, so I busied myself browsing the shops in the departure lounge. Unfortunately there wasn’t much to write home about; just the usual suspects, such as those silver jewelry stores you find all over Cancun, a Rogers Boots outlet, and a convenience store.
But what I wasn’t expecting to find was a pharmacy, filled to the rafters with shelves of medication and jam-packed with shoppers. I noticed a huddle of men circling one particular corner of the dispensary and when I managed to jostle my way through the crowd, here’s what I saw:

Front-end lifters, no scrip required
Yep, apparently the erectile disfunction drugs Cialis, Viagra and Levitra are available over-the-counter down Mexico way at prices lower than in the U.S.. Evidently, the airport pharmacy does a roaring trade with outbound Casanovas who need a little help “putting the lead in the pencil,” if you know what I mean.
Most readers of this blog are female, but I thought this info was worth passing along, nevertheless. You know … just in case.

OK, I will admit, I had to read “front-end lifters” a few times before I understood. I kept thinking, “What is SGGL talking about? Some sort of construction vehicle?” But no, you are just exceedingly clever and sharp-witted. When will your sharp wit be again in WP?
