There was this guy in a Bar..

[j.sabourn]

…Just looking at his drink. He stays like that for a half an hour. Then a big trouble making truck driver steps next to him, takes his drink from him and drinks it all down.
The poor guy starts crying, the truck driver says, come on man , I was just joking , here I’ll buy you another drink , I can’t stand to see a man cry. No it’s not that the man replies wiping his tears away.
This day is the worst day of my life.
First I overslept and got to my office late, my outraged boss fires me, when I leave the building I find my car has been stolen . The police say they cant do anything about it. I get a cab home and when I get out I left my wallet in the cab , the cab driver just drives away.
I go inside my house where I find my wife has packed her bags and left. I leave my house and come to this bar, just when I was thinking of putting an end to it all. You show up and drink my poison. JS

PARAPROSDOKIANS.

The definition of this word is a figure of speech in which the latter part of the sentence ,phrase, or larger discourse is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader to reframe or reinterpret the first part, frequently for humorous effect. This is a chance for the Council school boys to catch up in their word knowledge with the grammar school boys as in a previous post. Here are a few examples………
If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
War does not determine who is right , only who is left .
I didn’t say it was your fault , I said I was blaming you.
In filling out an application , where it says In case of emergency notify..I put a doctor.
You do not need a parachute to skydive, you only need a parachute to skydive twice.
To be sure of hitting the target shoot first and then call whatever you hit the target.
And of course the sexist one…Women will never be equal to men, until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut and think they are sexy.
Well there you are even at some of our ages there are still words in our vocabulary to learn.

Sounds like a Greek name to me.

#4 If it was he would be likely called Zorbo Paraprosdokians ! Instead of just Zorbo the Greek . Cheers JS.
