luvlife2: On his 78th birthday, a man got a gift certificate from his
wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man
living on a nearby reservation, who was rumored to have a
wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.
After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed
his gift certificate to the medicine man and wondered what
he was in for.
The old man slowly, methodically produced a potion; handed
it to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned: "This is
powerful medicine and it must be respected. You take only a
teaspoonful and then say, '1-2-3'. When you do that, you
will become more manly than you have ever been in your life
and you can perform as long as you want!"
The elderly man was encouraged. As he walks away, he turned
and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?"
"Your partner must say, '1-2-3-4'," the medicine man
responded. "...but when she does, the medicine will not
work again until the next full moon."
He was very eager to see if it worked. When he got home, he
showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine and then
invited his wife to join him in the bedroom.
When she came in, he took off his clothes and said, "1-2-3!"
Immediately, he was the manliest of men!
His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes
.and then she asked, "What was the 1-2-3 for?"
.And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our
sentences with a preposition because we could end up with a
dangling participle.
