Mohamed Al Fayed has blamed a Viagra 'episode' for his outlandish remarks and behavior during the recent inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and his son Dodi in Paris almost 39 years ago.
On the witness stand during the inquest, Al Fayed insisted Prince Phillip had conspired with everyone from his wife, The Queen of England, British & American Secret Service agencies and even the man who owns the local grocery shop to have the pair murdered.
Earlier today, Al Fayed seemed close to accepting the findings from the inquest-- that the only persons to blame for the deaths were in fact the drunken driver of the car and the chasing paparazzi.
Despite admitting to feelings of 'dismay' on the bus following the announcement, Al Fayed says he stopped off at his Harrods store on the way home, treated himself to a pair of grip bottomed socks that don't slide on varnished floors and began feeling better when he got home and put them on.
"Then I looked back at what I had said".
Al Fayed explained that 5 days before the trial, he received the latest Kays Catalogue and "became obsessed" with the womens underwear section.
Al Fayed admitted to taking "anywhere between three and four hundred" Viagra tablets and endured an erection upto and throughout the trial.
Al Fayed added, "the commercial says anyone experiencing an erection lasting more than four hours should seek medical treatment. For such a young whipper snapper to be taking the damn pill (Viagra) in the first place is embarrasing enough in itself, to check yourself into the emergency room looking like a tripod is an altogether different story and in my book, altogether, unacceptable."
The Harrods boss claims the three month erection drained practically all the blood from his brain, hence his "outlandish, erratic, irrational comments and behavior in court".
Asked if he was convinced the deaths were not murder, Al Fayed said he remained unsure, and that if anyone did it, it was probably "Ghandi or The Pope"
Asked if he would seek civil action against either, Al Fayed claimed he "remains undecided", tickled his ankles and giggled like a small child.
