The final proof: Good grammar matters

On his 84th 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 handed a potion to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, "This is a powerful medicine. 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 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?"

"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.

That is a rule up with which I will not put.

Although, technically, "up" wouldn't be a preposition in the term "put up." I still found it humorous though, regardless of whether or not Churchill had said it.

Texan goes to Harvard. Walks up to a some Harvard Rich Kid and asks, "Parrdon me, but could you tell me where the Library is at?"
Harvard Rich Kid says through his teeth " I realize that you probably come from socially deprived backwater, but now that you attend a institution of higher learning with the esteemed reputation of Haahhvahhd, do not end your sentences with prepositions".

Texan looks at him a second and says "Allright. Could you tell me where the library is at...asshole?"
