A couple of funnies for the day

I rarely post anything forwarded via email, but these quotes struck me as funny tonight. There were 30 in all, and they were all good, but I'll only bother you with my two favorites from the list tonight! I have no idea who gets credit for writing these.

PARA-PROS-DOKIANS...
I had to look up "paraprosdokian".

Here is the definition:
"Figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is

surprising or unexpected; frequently used in a humorous situation."

"Where there's a will, I want to be in it," is a type of paraprosdokian.

Ok, so now enjoy! :-)

1. 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.

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