SEX AND GOOD GRAMMAR                             

On his 70th birthday, a man was given a gift certificate from his wife.
The certificate was for consultation with an Indian medicine man living on a nearby
reservation who  was rumored to have a simple cure for   erectile dysfunction.
  The husband went to the reservation and saw the medicine man.
  The old Indian gave him a potion 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 for as long as you want."
The man thanked the old Indian, and 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 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.

Oh, blahahahahahaha; That was terrible, Janet. Never ending a sentence with a preposition is something I'll strive for.

Oops, there goes that old participle again...

Then again, going "1-2-3 and don't say a word woman!" might leave him the manliest of them all, all by his lonely self ...
I also think saying, "1-2-3 and don't your dare end your next question/sentence with a preposition!" might lead to talking and talking and talking and not so much manly pursuits ...
LOL
