Paraprosdokians

Recommended Posts

Paraprosdokians are figures of speech which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected & is frequently humorous.

 

1. Where there's a will I want to be in it.

2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you . . . . but it is still on my list.

3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

4. If I agreed with you, we both would be wrong.

5. We never 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 tomato into a fruit salad.

8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism.  To steal from many is research.

9. You don't need a parachute to skydive.  You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

                                     More to come later. . . .

 

 

 

 

 

                                                  I figured you would say that.....DUUUHHHH!

  • Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool 
and throw them fish.

  • I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted paychecks.

  • A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don’t need it.

  • Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says “In an emergency, notify,” I put “A DOCTOR.”

  • Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

  • Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.

  • A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

Subconsciously, I think I did it on purpose...  :laffs:

LOL... You think you did it on purpose, so there's some hypothetical possibility here that you are in fact not completely to blame for your subconscious self being animalistic in much the same way as your conscious self?

Any oceanfront property on the back 40 you want to sell me while we're at it?
