  Paraprosdokian

Defined: A figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence
or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently used in a
humorous situation.

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

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

3. Light travels faster than sound. This is why 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.

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 it in a fruit salad.

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

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

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

11. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted
paychecks.

12. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that
says, 'In case of emergency, notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.'

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

14. 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.

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

16. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

24. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

25. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

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

27. A diplomat is someone who tells you to go to hell in
such a way that you look forward to the trip.

28. Hospitality is making your guests feel at home even when
you wish they were.

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

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