A Lesson in 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 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 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."

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, ladies and gentlemen, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition

because we could end up with a dangling participle.

Reminds me, si man:

A salesman knocks on a door, and a young boy answers. "May I speak to your mother, si man?" the salesman asks.

"She ain't here, np man," said the boy.

"She 'ain't' here?" said the salesman. "Young man, where's your grammar, si man?"

"She went to the store," the boy said, "for some cat meat, si man."
