Description

Paraprosdokians (Winston Churchill loved them) are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous.

- “The crows seemed to be calling his name," thought Caw.
- A fool and his money are soon elected.
- A modest man, who has much to be modest about.
- He was at his best when the going was good.
- I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.
- I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it.
- I haven’t slept for ten days, because that would be too long.
