Title: Paraprosdokian Sentences (Good slogans to put on t-shirts)

A paraprosdokian (from Greek "À±Á±-", meaning "beyond" and "ÀÁ¿Ã´¿º¯±", meaning "expectation") 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, sometimes producing an anticlimax. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists.

Some paraprosdokians not only change the meaning of an early phrase, but also play on the double meaning of a particular word, creating a syllepsis.

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

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

Ø I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

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

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

Ø Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Ø If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.

Ø We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

Ø War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Ø Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Ø The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

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

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

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

Ø How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Ø Some people are like Slinkies ... not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

Ø Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Ø I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted pay checks.

Ø A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don't need it.

Ø Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "If an emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR".

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

Ø I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it...so I said "Implants?"

Ø Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Ø 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.

Ø Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America ?

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

Ø A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

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

Ø The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

Ø Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

Ø A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.

Ø Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.

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

Ø I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.

Ø Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go.

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

Ø I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

Ø I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lime, and a shot of tequila.

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

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

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

Ø Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Ø Some people hear voices. Some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever.

Ø A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it.

Ø If you are supposed to learn from your mistakes, why do some people have more than one child?

Ø Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Tremendous Mental Image created ----"I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car"

I think Emo Philips uses that one in his act. Another one of his that is really good I think is the one where he says he loves to go to the playground and watch the children jump, run and scream. They don't know he's shooting blanks.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.
Lord Acton

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

A soldier's job is to obey.

A citizen's job is to question.

A soldier's job is to obey lawful, constitutional orders. Depending on who wins the war, the excuse of "chust followink horders" won't wash and won't keep you from getting your neck stretched.

Another good one attributed to Churchill was the one where some woman made mention of him being drunk (which he usually was) and he admitted he was and said something like, But tomorrow I will be sober and you will still be ugly. Another one told him that if he were her husband she would give him cyanide and he said that if she was his wife he would take it.

More from Mencken:

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

No man ever quite believes in any other man. One may believe in an idea absolutely, but not in a man. H. L. Mencken

Time stays, we go. H. L. Mencken

A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar. H. L. Mencken

A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married. H. L. Mencken

Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under. H. L. Mencken

Thanks. My favorite Winston anecdotes were the exchanges between Winston and Lady Astor (they mutually despised each other).

Lady Astor: Winston if you were my husband I would put poison in your Tea.

Winston Churchill: Madam if I were your husband I would drink it.


Lady Astor: Winston I do believe you are drunk.

Winston Churchill: Madam, I do believe you are ugly. I shall be sober in the morning.

If you can find a copy a fun book to read is "The Fine Art of Literary Mayhem" which is about famous writer's feuds. Another good one is "The Complete Curmudgeon".

Dorothy Parker was well known for having a pen dipped in acid. She began one book review with the following:

"This is not a book that should be tossed aside lightly, it should be flung with great force. ..."

Lord Acton

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

Thank you. Some more of her wit:

"The two most beautiful words in the English language are ‘cheque enclosed.’"

"All I need is room enough to lay a hat and a few friends."

"Ducking for apples — change one letter and it’s the story of my life."

"When asked to use the word horticulture during a game of Can-You-Give-Me-A-Sentence, Parker replied: You can lead a horticulture, but you can’t make her think." (This was, if memory serves, again on the Jack Paar program.)

"I’ve been too fucking busy – or vice versa. (in response to a letter from her editor asking for more stories during her honeymoon)"

"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator

Oooh! That's cold. I liked Katherine Hepburn. ;-)

Oh yeah, me too. Just thought that was funny.

It definitely was. Oh, and while I was looking for a few more gems I found out that the book review quote I mentioned was the opening of her review of "Atlas Shrugged".

Yes, and she was not afraid to cut a few throats.

Glad you enjoyed.

"Society is, always has been and always will be a structure for the exploitation and oppression of the majority through systems of political force dictated by an élite, enforced by thugs, uniformed or not, and upheld by a willful ignorance and stupidity on the part of the very majority whom the system oppresses." -- Richard K. Morgan

Thank you for sharing your blank white filled box, Turtle. : )

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Edward Bernays, Father of Public Relations
