Grammar is important

.Subject: Sex and good Grammar

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
rumoured to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.

After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket
to the medicine man. 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.

Now who would have guessed that grammar was so important!

Dangling participle......It can mean war, or just a good movie (war is more fun)

Puntuation is important. A couple of examples:

Wrong: Let's eat Grandma!
Right: Let's eat, Grandma!

Proper punctuation and grammar can save lives! Very Happy

Wrong: Do you know what I like about you? Your nuts.
Right: Do you know what I like about you? You're nuts.

Proper punctuation and grammar can save you from embarrasing situations! Very Happy

Bushy, you still have your own teeth or are they already imported? Is your jackhandle older or younger than your teeth?

on the other hand: one of the things I do like about goulash is...
or a marinade with somekind of acetic acid...

it started with "grammar is important"
and we end up with an "imported grandma"...
must be a lot of "nuts" arround here.
