Since you mentioned "dangling parti...Colonel,<br /><br />Since you mentioned "dangling participle", this comes from a friend in Germany:<br /><br />Sex And Good Grammar<br /><br />On his 70th birthday, a man received a present from his wife: a gift certificate for a consultation with an Indian medicine man who lived on a nearby reservation. The medicine man was rumoured to have a simple but effective cure for erectile dysfunction.<br /><br />The man went to the reservation to see the medicine man. The old Indian gave him a small bottle of potion; but he 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 for as long as you want."<br /><br />The man thanked the old Indian; but as he walked away, he turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?"<br /><br />"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."<br /><br />The man was very eager to see if it worked. 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!"<br /><br />Immediately, he was the manliest of men. His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes. Just as they were getting down to business, she asked, "Honey, what was the 1-2-3 for?"<br /><br />And that is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition , because we could end up with a dangling participle.<br /><br />The Town Crank<br />Neenah<br />Steve Erbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065643506800242801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573188106264061392.post-12072316592476251072013-07-10T14:13:51.962-05:002013-07-10T14:13:51.962-05:00Where's St. Jude when you need him?Where's St. Jude when you need him?Hieronymous Knickerbockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595084830114588686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573188106264061392.post-87910322197736264172013-07-09T09:49:52.899-05:002013-07-09T09:49:52.899-05:00Presently.

I frequently hear people say, "Join Bob and myself for tonight's broadcast."
