Paraprosdokians & The Back Roads of Ohio

MQTlogoa A “Sunday Drive” post.

“A paraprosdokian /pærəprɒsˈdoʊkiən/ 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.”

angry I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

JOETODD  I drove up to the one stoplight in a nearby town today and saw the entire police force (2?) with lights flashing, I studied the scene. On one side of the street, men are throwing straps over a semi load of hay. Further down 3 men are rolling one huge bale of hay down the street. "Wow!"  "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the tests they're giving now."

Czech Puppets at the Columbus Museum Of Art

MQTlogoa This exhibit was in 2013 which is the last time I was at the Columbus Museum of Art. I will dedicate this post to PROCRASTINATION:::: Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Philip Stanhope
