Just a little humor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A paraprosdokian (/pærəprɒsˈdoʊkiən/), or par'hyponoian, is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence, phrase, or larger discourse is surprising or unexpected
in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists,[1] such as Groucho Marx.

Not to be confused with Dorothee Parker.

Dorothy Parker (née Rothschild; August 22, 1893 – June 7, 1967) was an American poet, literary critic and writer of fiction. Based in New York, she was known for her caustic wisecracks, and eye for 20th-century urban foibles.
Parker rose to acclaim, both for her literary works published in magazines, such as The New Yorker, and for her role as a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Parker

The problem with Trump jokes:
Republicans don’t think they’re funny, and Democrats don’t think they’re jokes.
 
Due to the complexities of mail, my package delivery is being delayed until Tuesday.

Very sneaky Mr. President.
 
Discussing the school trip, this Dad rules:
===============================
Dad: Son, since there’s going to be a lot of beautiful girls on the trip you’re going on, I bought something for you.

Le Me: Don’t worry, I know how to take care of myself.

Dad: So, did you buy the anti-depressants then?

Le Me: What?!?

Dad: You’re not expecting to get any action are you?

Then he dropped me off at the nearest burn unit.
=================================
Only question was whether or not he supplied ice for that burn
 
Q: Did you hear about the chickpea farmer who died at dinner?

A: The coroner is calling it a hummus-ide.

When I die I want to be cremated. After all, it's my last chance for a smoking hot body.
