  • Bumper Stickers
    • ]]>     I saw this thread on Reddit and thought I'd make a list of my favourite Paraprosdokian expressions.

    • "If we hit that bullseye the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards."
    • "I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong."
    • "I'll burn that bridge when I get to it."

    • "It's all just water under the fridge"
    • "It isn't rocket surgery"
    • "That train has sailed."
    • "If I wanted your opinion, I'd give it to you."
    • "Who do you think I am, Alfred Einstein?"
    • "If I gave a shit, you'd be the first person I'd give it to."
    • "Whatever doesn't kill you just postpones the inevitable."
    • "Don't put all your chickens in one biscuit."
    • "power corrupts, Powerpoint corrupts absolutely."
    • "Most accidents happen in the household. And most households happen through accidents."
    • "Rome wasn't built in a day, but it burned in one."
    • "People who sit on glass toilets shouldn't shit bricks."
    • "Well, onward and awkward."
    • "I resemble that remark!"
    • "Don't jump to contusions."
    • "Now the tide has turned the table onto the other foot."
    • "He passed with flyin' fucking carpets."
    • Mock my words!

    • ]]>     I read the following quote at "The price of everything" blog:

    “You couldn’t get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance.” – Edward Flaherty.

    I can't wait to find someone to insult.
