Added 8/27/17 Paraprosdokians
The first time I heard about paraprosdokians, I liked them.
Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a
sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected and is frequently
humorous (Winston Churchill loved them).
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.
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. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many
is research.
9. I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
10. In filling out an application, where it says, "In case of
emergency, notify... " I answered " a doctor."
11. 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.
12. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a
parachute to skydive twice.
13. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.
14. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever
you hit the target.
15. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, anymore than
standing in a garage makes you a car.
16. You are never too old to learn something stupid.
17. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and
harder for me to find one now.
18. I went to town to buy some batteries, but they weren’t included. |

King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of
war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the
Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world.
Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan.
Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it." "But I paid a
million dinars for it," the King protested. "Don't you know who I
am? I am the king!" Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star,
makes no difference who you are."

Cheerios
A 6 year old
and a 4 year old are raking the yard and the 6 year old says, “You
know what? I think it’s about time we started learning to cuss. “The
4 year old nods his head in approval. The 6 year old continues,
“When we go in for breakfast, I’m gonna say something with hell and
you say something with ass.” The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.
When their mother walks into the kitchen and asks
the 6 year old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, “Aw, hell,
Mom I guess I’ll have some Cheerios.” WHACK! He flies out of his
chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs
crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his
rear with every step. His mom locks him in his room and shouts. “You
can stay there until I let you out!”
She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4
year old and asks with a stern voice, “And what do you want for
breakfast, young man?” “I don ‘t know, “he blubbers, “but you
can bet your fat ass it won’t be Cheerios!”
A Doctor’s Visit
A guy goes to his psychiatrist’s office dressed in
nothing but Saran Wrap. He asks the doctor, “So tell me, Doc, what
do you think is wrong with me?” Doctor: “Well, clearly, I can see
your nuts.”
Tonsils Vs. Circumcision
Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on
stretchers next to each other outside the operating room, the first
surgeries of the day. The first kid leans over and asks, “What are
you in here for?” The second kid says, “I’m getting my tonsils out,
and I’m afraid.”
The first kid says, “You’ve got nothing to worry
about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep and
when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-o and ice cream. It’s a
breeze.’” The second kid then asks, “What are you here for?”
The first kid says, “Circumcision.” “Whoa!” the
second kid replies, “Good luck, buddy. I had that done when I was
born. Couldn’t walk for a year.” |
An age old question
from Denny... "I don't know why the
chicken crossed the road, but when it did it was poultry in motion!" |
Advice
from Denny... "Always borrow money
from a pessimist. They don't expect to be paid back." |
Another
Observation from Denny...
"It's sad how Wile E. Coyote is remembered for his violence,
and not for his brilliantly realistic paintings of tunnels." |
These are
actual warning labels:
On a salt packet - WARNING contains salt. Darn! I wanted sugar!
On a can of aerosol cheese - For best results remove cap. But then my hair gets
messed up.
On an air freshener - For use by trained personnel only. Well back to school.
On a dog medicine - Alcohol may intensify the effects. At least my dog is a
happy drunk.
On a letter opener - safety goggles recommended. Hard hat, too?
On a travel pillow - Do not use while sleeping. Let me sleep on that one and get
back to you.
On a disposable razor - Do not use in an earthquake. Well don't you want to look
good for FEMA?
On a can of tuna - CAUTION: contains fish. Hear that Jessica Simpson?

parachutes?" The guy yells back,
"Nothing. What do you know about
lighting water heaters?"

vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.

A guy comes home to his apartment and smells cigar smoke. He
accuses his wife of fooling around. She vehemently denies this as he searches
the apartment. He looks out the window and sees a guy leaving smoking a cigar.
In a fit of rage he pushes the refrigerator out the window onto the guy. He then
grabs his chest and has a heart attack. Cut to the pearly gates. Three guys are
standing before St Peter. St Pete asks the first how he got there. He replies,"
I dunno. I was walking out of my building and, boom, here I am." He asks our
heart attack how he got there. He says, "Uh well, I was a moving furniture and
had a heart attack." So St Pete gets to the third guy. "How did you get here?"
He says, "Well there I was sitting in the refrigerator, smoking a cigar, minding
my own business......" |
