The funny story you are trying to access may cause offense, may be in poor taste, or may contain subject matter of a graphic nature. This story was written as a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious .

A man appeared at Bow Street Magistrates' Court in London today charged with animal cruelty offences after he slipped three Viagra tablets to a giraffe at London Zoo. He was fine £25 and bound over.

A police spokesman told me that Gavin Pertwee had had a drink and thought it funny to give his week's supply of the drug to the giraffe. Gavin and his three friends waited for two hours to see if the giraffe would get an erection, but were disappointed - it was at that stage they were arrested.

Pertwee told the Court they had a bet about how big a giraffe's penis was and he thought the Viagra might help them solve the riddle.

Fortunately the giraffe suffered no long term effects other than a stiff neck the following morning. Pertwee's partner was furious; "How cruel", she said, "he should have got six months, I think the magistrate's were too soft on him."
