Hello to all and welcome to the beautiful month of May, filled with flowers and special blessings for our Mothers. Instead of my usual words of wisdom I bestow upon all our readers, I have taken to the light side of things and present to you the word of the day: Enjoy!!!
Paraprosdokians:
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 re-frame or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.
War does not determine who is right -- only who is left.
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening,' and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
To steal an idea from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. My desk is a work station.
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it.
Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "In an emergency, notify:" I put "A DOCTOR."
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
Some cause happiness wherever they go.. Others, whenever they go.
You're never too old to learn something stupid.
Take care,
Joel Lengyel
