Saturday's Sting in the Tail
Paraprosdokians - Winston Churchill loved them, they are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous. Enjoy the second in our series. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
You're never too old to learn something stupid.I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.
(Our thanks to Nub News reader Geraint Pugh for this idea, and contribution)
