Paraprosdokians

Sir Flag is flagging and thus I'm assisting.. as such.

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. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect.

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

   Ø    Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

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

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

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

   Ø    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

   Ø    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

   Ø    We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.

   Ø    War does not determine who is right -- only who is left.

   Ø    Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

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

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

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

   Ø    A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. My desk is a work station.

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

   Ø    Some people are like Slinkies ... not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

   Ø    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.

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

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

   Ø    Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "If an  emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR."

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

   Ø    I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it... So I said "Implants?"

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

   Ø    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.

   Ø    Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 53 for Miss America?

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

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

   Ø    You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

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

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

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

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

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

   Ø    I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark
          or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.

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

   Ø    There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.

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

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

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

   Ø    You're never too old to learn something stupid.

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

   Ø    Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

   Ø  FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS - all except the one where you are naked in church.

   Ø  I May Be A Schizophrenic But At Least I Have Each Other!

Wait, ml, what is the book with the guitar distortion story you mentioned the other day?

I grabbed this one from the shelf of another vinyl geek who's plants I'm watering while they're away.  Could be real good and depressing.

Gram Parsons' gravesite has some new markers I guess, but I like this old one.

Got into it a (2.00 / 2)
little bit today with a person concerned about the gayagenda. (instead of just my usual ignore them.) There was a commercial with Lebron James discouraging the use of the term 'gay' as a basketball slur, as well as a tirade against Glee, which I've never seen but is apparently like totally gay. (Dern it, my bad) Anyway, it was pretty civil.  Though I did little to calm their fear of a gay slippery slope (if ya know what I mean).

Soap on a rope slippery slope? (2.00 / 2)
