Today's English lesson...
> 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 slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, "This is a 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 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."
>
> 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 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 too could end up with a dangling participle.
