Sex And Good Grammar

For all my grammatically correct friends.


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 rumored to have a
wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.

After being persuaded, 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,'" he 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 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 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.
