My friend Alex Brown has sent me some delightful paraprosdokians, shared
herewith:
Where there's
a will, I want to be in it.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's
still on my list.
Since light
travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
If I agreed
with you, we'd both be wrong.
We never
really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
War does not
determine who is right - only who is left.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.. Wisdom is
not putting it in a fruit salad.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming
you.
In filling
out an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency, Notify:' I put
'DOCTOR'.
Women will never be equal to men until they can walk
down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only
need a parachute to skydive twice.
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian
any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
You're never
too old to learn something stupid.
(The
last of these offers an excellent example of ways in which a comma can change
all meaning: You’re never too old to
learn something, stupid. GJP)
