Paraprosdokians

Some humour are straight forward. You see, or hear them and you burst out laughing. Others are more subtle. You need a second or two, to see the humour in them.

Paraprosdokians are an example, the punch line is dropped a second or two later, giving what was said a different meaning, where therein lies the humour. You will notice a lot of these in comedy shows. Stand Up comedians use them a lot to get the laughs too.

You might want to bear a few of these paraprosdokians in mind, to impress your friends with your sense of humour. Share them at a party, or a gathering, or bring a spot of laughter into someone’s life, and brighten up someone’s day. Everyone likes a person with a sense of humour. You might become very popular.
