On Grammar

The old-timer went to see a medicine man rumored to have a remedy for erectile dysfunction.


The medicine man gave him a potion and advised, "Take only a teaspoon and say '1,2,3'. The medicine will work as long as you want it to. The medicine will stop working when your partner says '1,2,3,4' and will not work again until the next full moon."

The old-timer immediately went home to try the potion. He showered, shaved, took a gargle and called his wife into the bedroom. He downed a teaspoon of the potion and declared "1,2,3". His wife was immediately impressed with the effect of the potion and started throwing her clothes off while asking "What was the 1,2,3 for?"


Henceforth, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.

- Winston Churchill
