1-2-3-4



On his 74th birthday, a man received a gift certificate from his
wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a
nearby reservation. The medicine man 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, all the time wondering what was to come.
The old medicine man slowly and methodically produced a potion,
which he handed to the 74 year-old.
With a grip on his shoulder, the medicine man 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 manlier than you
have ever been in your life and you will be able to perform as long as you
want."

The old 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 old man was very eager to see if the potion 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 – or one will end up with a dangling participle!
