PARAPROSDOKIANS
|
PARAPROSDOKIANS The first time i heard about Paraprosdokians, I like them... Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected and is frequently humorous ( Winston Churchill loved them) 1.). Where theres a will , I want to be in it. 2.). The last thing I want to do is hurt you,,,,, but its still on my list,, 3.). Since light travels faster than sound,,, some people appear bright until u hear them speak. 4.). If I agreed with you,,, wed both be wrong. 5.). We never really grow up----- we only learn how to act in public 6.), War does not determine who is right,, only who is left.. 7.). Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit,,,, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. 8.). To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism.----- To steal from many is research. 9.). I didnt say it was your fault--- I said i was blaming you 10.). In filling out an application , where it says ,, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY NOTIFY ,,,,,,,,,,,,I Anwered ,,,,,, A DOCTOR, !! 11.). Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street bald headed and a beergut , and still think they are sexy... 12.). You do not need a<b> parachute </font></b>to skydive... You only need a<b> parachute </font></b>to skydive twice, 13.). I used to be indecisive ,, but now im not sure. 14.). To be sure of hitting the target----- shoot first--and call whatever you hit the target. 15.). Going to church doesnt make u a christian anymore than standing in a garage makes u a sedan, 16.). Youre never too old to learn something stupid,,, 17.). Im suppose to respect my elders----- but its getting harder and harder to find one,, So lets be happy, and enjoy the time were here, and spread som laughter and some cheer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,LOL |

The paraprosdokians you selected here are all entertaining. I am not sure if it qualifies aas a paraprosdokian per se, however, I've always enjoyed Churchill's wit, and this is one of his I like: "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put."  I notice in the photo you've appended to the witticisms that you are wearing a "hook" that looks like the demigod Maui's magical hook in the Disney animated film "Moana" - although I bet you had yours long before the movie was ever released.
