We will start a new thread called paraprosdokian; they can be thought provoking and they can be inspirational. I hope you find them interesting. Please post one if you have one of your own.
A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to re-frame or re-interpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists.
Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.
