On his 70th birthday, a man was given a gift certificate from his wife.
The certificate was for a consultation with an traditional healer, who was well known to have a very good naturopathic cure for erectile dysfunction!
1/
As he despised western medicine, believing the conspiracy theory that they only represent the interests of big pharma, he consulted with the traditional healer.
The healer gave him a potion and with a strong grip on his shoulder warned,
"This is a powerful medicine."
2/
"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."
3/
The man thanked the healer 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."
4/
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 fully erect!
5/
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.
