Paraprosdokians

The first time I heard about paraprosdokians, I liked them. Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected & is frequently humorous.

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

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

12. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first & call whatever you hit the target.

13. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car mechanic.

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

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

Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.

It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime. ~Ray Bradbury

YOU THINK MUKESH AMBANI DOESN'T HAVE PROBLEMS. ....

Mukesh bhai gets up from his bed room on 15th floor,

takes a swim in the swimming pool on 17th floor,

has breakfast on the 19th floor,

dresses up for office on 14th floor,

collects his files and office bag from his personal office on 21st floor,

wishes bye to wife Nita on 16th floor,

says ‘see you’ to his children on 13th floor & 19th floor,

and goes down on 3rd floor to self drive his 2.5 Crore BMW to office,

but then he finds out that he has forgotten the car keys upstairs.

But on which floor? ...

15th,17th,19th,14th,

21st,16th or 13th?

He phones all his servants, cooks, maids, secretaries, pool attendants, gymtrainers, lift attendants etc. on all the floors.

There is a hectic search and lot of running around on all the floors, but the key is not traceable.

Fed up, after half an hour of frantic search, Mukesh bhai leaves in a huff in a chauffeur driven Ikon car.

At 3.30 pm late in the afternoon, it is discovered that 4 days back, a temporary replacement maid had washed Mukesh bhai's pant and hung it to dry on a string in the balcony of 16th floor, with car keys in the pant pocket.

The key was blown away somewhere by the high winds at 16th floorlevel and was never found.

This was detected because of Nita’s habit of checking clothes given for ironing personally.

Meanwhile, after 3 days of the incident, Nita Ambani with all irritation writ large on her face, complained to Mukesh bhai asking him where he was roaming till 3 am last night.

Mukesh replied that he was at home all night. “Then why did the helicopter land in the terrace at 3 am?

I was so worried. I could not sleep whole night," quizzed Nita.

"Oh that helicopter”.. That helicopter came from Germany, sent by guys from BMW to deliver the duplicate car key... "mumbled Mukesh.

This is a true story & Moral of The Story is:

A three bed room flat is better. So guys, be happy in ur 3 BHK flat....

it saves lots of hassles!!!
