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, sometimes producing an anti-climax. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists.
I hope today's selection of paraprosdokians bring on a chuckle, or put a smile on your face, at least.
