Normally I don't pass on stuff from friends but had to share this one.

PARAPROSDOKIANS...

(Sir Winston Churchill loved them)

are
figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase
is surprising or unexpected; it is frequently humorous.




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. They begin the evening news with 'Good Evening,' then proceed to
tell you why it isn't.

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

10. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted
paychecks.

11. In filling out an application, where it says,
'In case of emergency, notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.'

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

13. 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.

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

15. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory.

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

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

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

19. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

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

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

22. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

23. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

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

25. Where there's a will, there are relatives.

26. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but its getting harder and harder
for me to find one now.

And one from Winston Churchill ~

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak.

Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

I love the "Confucious say" ones

Confucius Say
Masturbation is a solo played on a private organ

To make a long story short, don't tell it

Never argue with a fool...he may be doing the same thing

Even a fish can escape being caught, if it keeps its mouth shut

Homosexuals don't play chess because they don't want to sacrifice a Queen

Prostitute who likes bondage is usually strapped for cash

lots more that can't be posted on a family forum..
