Harry is getting along in years and finds that he is unable to perform
sexually. He finally goes to his doctor, who tries a few things but nothing
seems to work. So eventually the doctor refers him to an old Gypsy medicine
woman.
The medicine woman says, "I can cure this." That said, she throws a white
powder in a flame, and there is a flash with billowing blue smoke. She
collects the ash, then she says, "This is powerful medicine. You can only
use it once a year. All you have to do is say '123' and it shall rise for as
long as you wish!"
The guy then asks, "What happens when it's over, and I don't want to
continue?" The medicine woman replies: "All you or your partner has to say
is 1234, and it will go down. But be warned - it will not work again for another year!"
Harry rushes home, eager to try out his new powers and prowess. That night
he is ready to surprise Joyce. He showers, shaves, and puts on his most
exotic shaving lotion. He gets into bed, and lying next to her says, "123."
He suddenly becomes more aroused than anytime in his life just as the
medicine woman had promised.
Joyce, who had been facing away, turns over and
asks, "What did you say 123 for?"
And that, my friends, is why you should never end a sentence with a preposition.
