Paraprosdokian sentences
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.
1. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way.
So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
2. I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.
Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his bus as it went over
the cliff....
3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing
in a garage makes you a car.
4. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.
5. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.
6. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
7. Some people never really grow up; they only learn how to act in public.
8. The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is
research.
10. How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a
whole box to start a campfire.
