Treatment for couples with, um, a difficulty

Will living downtown improve your intimate relationships?

Perhaps, depending on just what the problem is. For this couple, maybe all it takes is a prescription for Fortysil. Those three ED medications, whose ads are inescapable in the US, all have chemical names that end in sil. Don't ask me what it means. All I know about organic chemistry is that it has something to do with carbon chains, which sounds like a good way to lock up your bike.

What this is really about is commuting in St. Louis. An 11 mile-18 km section of our major east-west highway, US 40 - Interstate 64, is closed for complete rebuilding. This section is in the suburbs and construction goes on for a year. In 2009, the highway department will shut down a similar stretch in the city for the same purpose for yet another year. Two years of traffic mess. The Rx for a cure? Acording to this ad, live in a downtown loft apartment and forget the highway. Satisfy your partner.
