By the numbers.....

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 the doctor refers him to an American Indian medicine man.

The medicine man says, "I can cure this." That said, he throws a white powder in a flame, and there is a flash with billowing blue smoke. Then he 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 man 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 g ets into bed, and lying next to her says, "123."

He suddenly becomes more aroused than anytime in his life ... just as the medicine man 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...

He should have taken the medicine on December 31st. :)

But really, if the medicine is smart enough to recognize speech, you would think it would be smart enough to detect the difference between "for" and "4" simply by context...

Always the scientist! LOL!

I figure if something as dumb as MS Word can do it, then a medicine that has speech recognition abilities should be able to as well. :)

Your absolutely right!

But then it wouldn't be funny!

[BrianG]

Yeah, that is true...

Funny stuff. If only the medicine was a tad smarter, it could do so much more... :005:
