A paraprosdokian a day...keeps you smilin'

Here's a fun e-mail forward...too fun not to share!  (does this count as a positive thought click, or ...?)

A paraprosdokian sentence consists of two parts, where the first is a figure of speech and the second an intriguing variation of the first. They're used typically for humorous or dramatic effect. Enjoy these!
 �   Never argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
�         Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
�         The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it's still on the list.
�         If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
�         We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
�         Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit and wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
�         The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
�         How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
�         Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand at the edge of a pool and throw fish.
�         I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
�         Women will never be equal to men till they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut and still think they're sexy.
�         A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
�         You don't need a parachute to skydive, but you do need one to skydive again.
�         The voices in my head may be fake, but they have good ideas!
�         Hospitality is making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.
�         I scream the same way whether I'm about to be eaten by a shark or seaweed touches my foot.
�     Some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go.
�         There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
�         You're never too old to learn something stupid.
 Keep smilin' and Happy Thursday !
