Hi Philip

 Please share

E mail from Nana:      To all my batch mates

  Winston Churchill loved them- So will you

PARAPROSDOKIANS are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence is unexpected.

Winston  Churchill loved them. You may like them too ( if you have the patience  to read these)

1. Where there's a will:    -   I want to be in it.
2. Since light travels faster than sound -  some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

3. Women will never be equal to men    -    until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer belly and still think they look sexy.
4. Behind every successful man is his woman.    -  Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.

5. If I agreed with you: -               we'd both be wrong.

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. They begin the evening news with 'Good Evening,'   -   then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
9. To steal ideas from someone is plagiarism.  -     To steal from many is called research.
10. In filling in an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency, notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.'
.
11. A clear conscience is     -                  the sign of a bad memory.
12. I used to be indecisive  -                   Now I'm not so sure.
13. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be   -       Nor is there any future in it.
14. Change is inevitable   -                except from a vending machine.

15. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than   -- standing in your garage makes you a car.
16. Finally: I'm supposed to respect my elders  -  but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.
.
(Hope you do not have this problem)
