    Default Paraprosdokian

    The following are paraprosdokians. A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence is unexpected and oft times very humorous:

    *If I had a dollar for every girl that found me unattractive, they'd eventually find me very attractive.

    *I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue stand for freedom, until they're flashing behind you.

    *Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool, so I gave him a glass of water.

    *Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

    *I'm great at multitasking, I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at once.

    *If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

    *Take my advice — I'm not using it.

    *My wife and I were happy for twenty years; then we met.

    *Hospitality is the art of making guests feel like they're at home when you wish they were.

    *Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

    *Ever stop to think and forget to start again?

    *Women spend more time wondering what men are thinking than men spend thinking.

    *He who laughs last thinks slowest.

    *Is it wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly?

    *Women sometimes make fools of men, but most guys are the do-it-yourself type.

    *I was going to give him a nasty look, but he already had one.

    *Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    *I was going to wear my camouflage shirt today, but I couldn't find it.

    *If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

    *Sometimes I wake up grumpy; other times I let her sleep.

    *If tomatoes are technically a fruit, is ketchup a smoothie?

    *Money is the root of all wealth.
