@parados,
This is a selection of Milton Jone's classic one-liners. They don't all fit the definition of paraprosdokian.
1.I was mugged by a man on crutches, wearing camouflage. Ha ha, I thought, you can hide but you can’t run.
2.If you’re being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then on to a little seesaw, then jump through a hoop of fire. They’re trained for that.
3.Militant feminists: I take my hat off to them. They don’t like that.
4.So I phoned up the spiritual leader of Tibet, he sent me a large goat with a long neck. Turns out I phoned dial a lama.
5.I was walking along the road the other day and on the pavement I saw a white baby ghost. However, come to think of it, it may have been a tissue.
6.I don’t know if you’ve ever fallen asleep whilst eating a plate of cauliflower, and then woken up, and thought you were in the clouds.
7.I’m very English really. I even ordered a book on the internet, ‘how to have absolutely nothing to do with your neighbours’. Unfortunately I was out when it was delivered.
8.I lost my job as a cricket commentator for saying “I don’t want to bore you with the details.”
9.Old ladies in wheelchairs with blankets over their legs, I don’t think so…retired “mermaids.”
10.If they make it illegal to wear the veil at work, bee keepers are going to be furious.
