Paraprosdokians - Last night, I was watching performances by Steven Wright on YouTube. He has a very unique way of constructing his humor. When I researched this, I found that one of the devices/techniques he uses is called "Paraprosdokia."

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 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. Some paraprosdokians not only change the meaning of an early phrase, but they also play on the double meaning of a particular word, creating a form of syllepsis.

The key feature is that the final words make the listener reinterpret the first part of the sentence. Surprising, unexpected.

Some good examples of Paraprosdokia:
- "I like going to the park and watching the children run around because they don't know I'm using blanks." —Emo Philips
- Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

- Mitch Hedberg employed paraprosdokians on a regular basis. Los Enchiladas - Mitch Hedberg Movie

- War doesn't determine who is right only who is left.
- Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
- I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
- Some people hear voices. Some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever.
- The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!
- I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
- Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.

So, what I am after is a visual paraprosdokian. How do I create this? I'm not seeing many folks talking about it online, so I don't know if it is a concept that is thought about.

"Kahlo incorporated both Christian and Jewish themes as well as objects from Mexican mythology, rendering Surrealist imaginations in a way that Andre Breton once described as "a ribbon around a bomb." (Website)

How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to hold the giraffe, and one to put the clocks in the bathtub.
