Grammar Lesson--Funny!

*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 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.*

The old family patriarch was home dying in bed with the whole family in attendance. His daughter waited at his side until suddenly he said "I smell Mama's wonderful home made rum cake. Before I die I must have a slice. Go to your mother for me now." The daughter left for the kitchen and returned after a few minutes. "It's for later" she said.

i came across that once before, not in a joke sense, i got to spend the day on the ranges at shoeburyness and was surprised that no one would say the number 5, turns out it sounds similar to fire and they didn't want to cause an accident.
