I'm quite fond of a (relatively young) limerick that my mom had to explain to me:

There once was a couple from Ankara
visiting the falls of Niagara.
When they left them behind
she was pregnant, he blind;
they now call the falls "Viagra-ra".

*watches tumbleweed blow by* ... well, I found it funny back then. Of course, it isn't entirely clean either.

Can your Mom explain that one to me?
I like it but don't know what it means!

Well, when Viagra was first marketed, it was warned that.... not sure about the details, either a common side effect was vision impairment or it was a result of overdosing. At any rate, enthusiastic users might find that while their standing power increased, their seeing power went down. So the concurrence of her being pregnant and him being blind is supposed to suggest the use of the big blue pill. Ba-dum-tsh. (The target audience of this joke is probably meant to be of the medical profession?)
