"On his 77th birthday, A man called Pete, got a gift certificate from
his wife Molly.  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 medicine man slowly and 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?"

The medicine man responded, "Your partner must say 1-2-3-4, but
when she does, the medicine will not  work again until the next full
moon."

Eager to see if it worked, the old man 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.. ;>)
