Paraprosdokians

Hope you enjoy this giggle from Meredith's Jack!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The first time I heard about paraprosdokians, I liked them.  Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the end part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected and is frequently humorous. (Winston Churchill loved them.)

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

  

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

  

10. In filling out an application, where it says, "In case of emergency, notify...." I answered, "a doctor."

  

11. 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.

 

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

  

13. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

  

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

  

15. Going to church doesn't make you religious, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

  

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

17. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

In Case You Think You're Old

Was sent to me by a friend and haven’t verified but sounds good to me…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Jeanne Louise Calment had the longest confirmed human lifespan on record: 122 years and 164 days.

It seems that fate strongly approved of the way Madam Calment lived her life.

Jeanne was born in Arles, France, on 21st February 1875.

When the Eiffel Tower was built, she was 14 year old.

It was at this time that she met Vincent van Gogh.

"He was dirty, badly dressed and disagreeable," she recalled in an interview given in 1988.


When she was 85, she took up fencing, and she was still riding on her bike when she reached 100.
 

When Jeanne was 114, she starred in a film about her life; at 115 she had an operation on her hip, and at 117 she gave up smoking (having started at the age of 21 in 1896). Apparently, she didn't give it up for health reasons, but because she didn't like having to ask someone to help her light a cigarette once she was becoming almost blind.
 

In 1965, Jeanne was 90 years old and had no heirs.

She signed a deal to sell her apartment to a 47-year-old lawyer called André-François Raffray.

He agreed to pay her a monthly sum of 2,500 francs on the condition that he would inherit her apartment after she died.

However, Raffray not only ended up paying Jeanne for 30 years but died before she did at the age of 77.

His widow was legally obliged to continue paying Madam Calment until the end of her days.


Jeanne retained sharp mental faculties.

When she was asked on her 120th birthday what kind of future she expected to have, she replied: "A very short one."

 
Quotes and rules of life from Jeanne Calment:

"Being young is a state of mind, it doesn't depend on one's body, I'm actually still a young girl; it's just that I haven't looked so good for the past 70 years."

"I've only got one wrinkle, and I'm sitting on it."

"All babies are beautiful."

"I've been forgotten by our good lord."

"I'm in love with wine."

"Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life."

"If you can't change something, don't worry about it."

"I have a huge desire to live and a big appetite, especially for sweets."

"I never wear mascara; I laugh until I cry too often."

"I see badly, I hear badly, and I feel bad, but everything's fine."

"I think I will die of laughter."

"I have legs of iron, but to tell you the truth, they're starting to rust and buckle a bit."

"I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I'm very lucky."
 

(At the end of one interview, in response to a journalist who said he hoped they would meet again the following year):

"Why not? You're not that old; you'll still be here."

What Did She Want To Be Done?

"The child had heard someone using swear words. The child is 16 years old, so I thought it was odd that there was a complaining parent. But still, if a student…or worse, teacher…had sworn at him, it's not great.
 
The conversation went something like this:

Me: 'Was it a teacher, or someone else at the school?'

Parent: 'No.'

Me: 'Ah, it was a fellow student then?'

Parent: 'No.'

Me: 'So it was someone else in school...did it happen on the school campus?'

Parent: 'No.'

Me: 'During school hours?'

Parent: 'No.'

Me: 'So you're saying your child heard someone swearing outside of school grounds and outside of school hours and that person had no connection to the school?'

Parent: 'Yes, I want to know what you're going to do about it!'"


Good Gravy!!!

Doing Fine

The Footless Parrot

A guy is browsing in a pet shop, and sees a parrot sitting on a little perch.

It doesn’t have any feet or legs.
 

The guy says aloud, “Jeesh, I wonder what happened to this parrot?”

The parrot says, “I was born this way.  I”m a defective parrot.”
 

“Holy crap,” the guy replies.  “You actually understood and answered me!”

“I got every word,” says the parrot.   ”I happen to be a highly intelligent, and a thoroughly educated bird”
 

“Oh yeah?” the guy asks.  “Then answer this, how do you hang onto your perch, without any feet.?” 

“Well,” the parrot says, “this is very embarrassing, but since you asked, I wrap my weenie around this wooden bar, like a little hook.  You can”t see it, because of my feathers.”
 

“Wow,” says the guy.  “You really can understand, and can speak English, can’t you.”

“Actually, I speak both Spanish and English, and I can converse with reasonable competence on almost any topic, politics, religion, sports, physics, and philosophy. I’m especially good at ornithology.  You really ought to buy me, I’d be a great companion.”
 

The guy looks at the $200.00 price tag.  “Sorry, but I just can’t afford that.”

“Pssst,” says the parrot, “I”m defective, so the truth is, nobody wants me, cause I don’t have any feet.  You can probably get me for $20, just make the guy an offer!”
 

The guy offers $20, and walks out with the parrot.
 

Weeks go by.
 

The parrot is sensational.
 

He has a great sense of humor, he’s interesting, he’s a great pal, he understands everything, he sympathizes, and he’s insightful.
 

The guy is delighted.
 

One day the guy comes home from work, and the parrot goes, “Psssssssssssst,” and motions him over with one wing.

“I don’t know if I should tell you this or not, but it’s about your wife, and the UPS man.”
 

“What are you talking about?” asks the guy.

“When the UPS man delivered a package today, your wife greeted him at the door, in a sheer black nightie.”
 

“WHAT???” the guy asks incredulously.

“THEN what happened?”

“Well, then the UPS man came into the house, and lifted up her nightie, and began petting her all over,” reported the parrot.
 

“NO!” he exclaims, “And she let him?”

“Yes.  Then he continued taking off the nightie, got down on his knees, and began to kiss her all over.”
 

Then the frantic guy demands, “THEN WHAT HAPPENED.?”


DUNNO?!? I got a hard-on, and fell off my perch!”

Mail

Here's a fun oldie for ya. 

A man was in his yard mowing the grass when his blonde neighbour came out of the house and went straight to the mailbox. She opened it then slammed it shut stormed back in the house.

 
A little later she came out of her house again went to the mail box and again opened it, slammed it shut again. Angrily, back into the house she went.

 
As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, she came out again, marched to the mailbox, opened it and then slammed it closed harder than ever.

 
Puzzled by her actions the man asked her, “Is something wrong?”

 
To which she replied, “There certainly is!” My stupid new computer keeps saying, “You’ve Got Mail.”

The Doctor Visit

Brenda and Steve took their six-year-old son to the doctor.
 
With some hesitation, they explained that although their little angel appeared to be in good health, they were concerned about his rather small penis.
 
After examining the child, the doctor confidently declared, “Just feed him pancakes. That should solve the problem.”
 

The next morning when the boy arrived at breakfast, there was a large stack of warm pancakes in the middle of the table.

“Gee, Mom,” he exclaimed. “For me?”

“Just take two,” Brenda replied.

 
“The rest are for your father.”
 

Alrighty then…

A Romantic Dinner...

Hope you enjoy this naughty giggle from Meredith's Jack !!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man and a woman were having a quiet, romantic dinner in a fine restaurant. They were gazing lovingly at each other and holding hands.
 

The waitress, taking another order at a table a few steps away, suddenly noticed the woman slowly sliding down her chair, under the table and under the table cloth but the man stared straight ahead.
 

The waitress watched as the woman slid all the way down her chair and totally out of sight under the tablecloth.
 

Still, the man stared straight ahead.
 

The waitress, thinking this behavior a bit risqué and worried that it might offend other diners, went over to the table and, tactfully, began by saying to the man: "Pardon me sir, but I think your wife just slid under the table."
 
 

The man calmly looked up at her and said, "No, unfortunately she just walked in."
 

Oops!!!!!!

Genius

Doctor’s Speech

A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa.


'The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water.


However, there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have eaten, or will eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?'


After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, 'Wedding Cake.'
