Paraprosdokians (Winston Churchill loved them) are figures of speech in
which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently Humorous. Example: 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. 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's 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'd both be wrong. 5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. |

There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they
can't get away. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure. You're never too old to learn something stupid. |

Kittens play with yarn, they bat it around. What they’re really doing is saying, “I can’t knit, get this away from me!”

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

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