SEX AND GOOD GRAMMAR

On his 74th 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

rumoured to have a wonderful

cure for erectile dysfunction.     

After being persuaded to go,

he drove to the reservation,

handed his ticket to the medicine man

and wondered what he was in for. 

The old man handed a potion to him,

and with a grip on his shoulder, warned,

"This is a powerful medicine.

You take only a teaspoonful and then say

'1-2-3'." When you do,

you will become more manly than you

have ever been in your life and

you can perform as long as you  want."     

The man was encouraged.

As he walked 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."     

The man was very eager to see if it worked

so he went home, showered, shaved,

took a spoonful of the medicine and then

invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. 

When she came in,

he quickly 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 as 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.
