instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every
program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.

If you stick a stock of liquor in your locker,
It is slick to stick a lock upon your stock.
Or some joker who is slicker,
Will trick you of your liquor,
If you fail to lock your liquor with a lock.

Dear Dr. Science,
Is there a reason for not ending a sentence with a
preposition that you can think of?
from John Mostrom of Seattle, WA
I must admit I don't know where you're coming from.
Correct usage in English and Science is something
I've devoted my whole life to. Of course, if I say
anything you can't understand, it will just become
a new hammer you can try to hit me or another expert
over the head with. There are plenty of people like
you I can't hope to change the mind of. But then,
I've dealt with people like you before. People who
don't really want to learn, but just hope to find
someone they can publicly disagree with. There's
little I can say that your type won't find something
to object to. But getting back to your question,
no there's really no reason for not ending a sentence
with a preposition, at least none I can think of.

It has been observed that one's nose is never so happy as when it is
thrust into the affairs of another, from which some physiologists have
drawn the inference that the nose is devoid of the sense of smell.

Puns are little "plays on words" that a certain breed of person loves
to spring on you and then look at you in a certain self-satisfied way
to indicate that he thinks that you must think that he is by far the
cleverest person on Earth now that Benjamin Franklin is dead, when in
fact what you are thinking is that if this person ever ends up in a
lifeboat, the other passengers will hurl him overboard by the end of
the first day even if they have plenty of food and water.
-- Dave Barry, "Why Humor is Funny"
(tftd resembles this remark.)
