Now I have your attention!
On my 60th birthday,I was given a gift certificate from my wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a specialist sex therapist who is rumoured to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.
After being persuaded, I drove to her, handedthe certificate to the doctor, and wondered what would happen next.
She (very nice lady too), methodically produced a potion, handed it to me, and with a grip on my 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."
I was encouraged but on thinking about it, turned to her and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?"
"Your wife must say '1-2-3-4,'" he responded, "but when she does, the potion will not work again for another year."
You can imagine how anxious I was to see if it worked so I went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited my wife to join me in our bedroom.
When she came in, I stripped off and said quietly, "1-2-3!"
Wow. Immediately, I had become the manliest of men.
My wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes too, but then she asked, "What was the 1-2-3 for?"
Oh-no!
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.
