My English lesson for the week!
***********
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, showed his gift
certificate to the medicine man and wondered what he was in for.
***********
The old medicine 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 walks 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.*
