paraprosdokian

a friend sent me this....enjoy



A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part.



I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why 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.

The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

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.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

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

Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America ?

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.

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.

Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.

Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go.

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon … and a shot of tequila.

When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.

You're never too old to learn something stupid.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Some people hear voices. Some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever.

A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it.

If you are supposed to learn from your mistakes, why do some people have more than one child?

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine…

Law curbs McDonald's Happy Meal toys - Yahoo! News

Law curbs McDonald's Happy Meal toys - Yahoo! News


the government is trying to control every aspect of our lives. They want to dictate what we eat, where we live, even what medications we take. At what point does the average person wake up and realize the thing that makes this country great is being stripped away from us, one thing at t time, though certainly we've seen more stripped away faster in the last few years.
perhaps eating the occasional happy meal wouldn't be so bad, if the government had not already take the jungle gyms, swings, even basic recess away from kids in public schools. SWING SETS are TOO dangerous....??? Come on people...wise up....pretty soon the government is going to be telling you where you can shop and what you can buy...there is already soda and junk food tax in some states. What's next?

Obama Regulation Czar Advocated Removing People’s Organs Without Explicit Consent | CNSnews.com


Go big brother....GO...really...get the flock out....I am fully in support of organ donation ...but I support the word DONATION....and another good word is CHOICE....Obama has some top level help that is very VERY intrusive and controlling in their views....I am greatly concerned with that trend. Government needs to step back and get out of people's lives.
