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 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 a Christian, 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.

And I thought me and Qui Gon Jinn
Could talk the Federation in
To maybe cutting them a
Little slack

Well their response
It didn't thrill us
They locked the doors
And tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
And met Jar Jar and Boss Nass

...shit. I was counting on these 10,000 "Podcast host" business cards getting me places in love :(

Pretty sure NSW has banned this practice.
We took a bongo from the scene
And went to Theed to the Queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy...

Oh my, my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry.
And he left his hom and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave?
But he can use the Force, they say
Well do you see him hitting on the Queen
When he's 9 and she's just 14
Yeah he's probably gonna marry her someday...

Tell us about the goals you've kicked Golumless, and what has turned you into a force of nature in S27.
Well I was the reason we all won a SOO competition with my heroic 1 goal decoy performance in the finals. I also don't like Baghdad, so I decided to kick 7 there after returning to the waterfall to meditate under which I used for the SOO grand final.

I'also found inspiration from my hero, Noobz0r, goal kicking prowess recently. Made me realise I could be better.

Interesting you bring up Noobz, you're running about the same accuracy he did last season, and we all know that ended in All SFA recognition.

Evidently, that is a problem with our home ground and it should be rectified immediately. Bring in all pockets, make the goal posts wider etc.

Don't forget the Captain that made the brave (and correct) choice to place you there.

I heard he's a stand-up kind of guy.

Actually **** "minimum card charges"
I just purchased 9 litres of Aloe Vera in order to make a $20 card purchase limit at a shop where I was just trying to buy a $2 pack of dumplings. So I guess Aloe Vera on me...
I'm kind of curious what kind of store sells both $2 packets of dumplings, large quantities of Aloe Vera and has a $20 card limit. I tend to either stick to large stores or shop online

And also, presuming this store sells many things, why buy Aloe Vera? Surely they had some lollies or soft drink or even some magazines? You could get your granny on and do the puzzles in That's Life or Take 5

It was an asian grocers. There was fresh food (my dumplings) and there was bagged/frozen stuff. I didn't feel like walking the kilo home with a tonne of frozen food which would probably not get eaten. Yes there were lollies but they were dirt cheap. My bother LOVES aloe vera so it worked out in the end. But my god 9kilos is so much heavier than it sounds...
