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. 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.

If at first you don't succeed ... try second base.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.
You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing ... after they have tried everything else. (Winston Churchill)

A blonde walks into the police department looking for a job.
The officer interviewing her asks her a few questions.
What's 2+2? She replied, "4"
What's the square root of 100? She answered, "10"
Good, now who killed Abraham Lincoln? Puzzled she responds, "hmmm, I don't know"
Officer tells her to go home and think about it and come back tomorrow.
The blonde gets home and calls one of her friends, who asked her if she got the job.
She responds excitedly, "Not only did I get the job, I'm already working on a murder case!"
Today I was beat up by a busty woman in an elevator. Evidently I was staring at her breasts when she said please press one. I don't remember anything after that.

"What are you reading, old man?" asks the guard.
"I'm learning Hebrew," says the old man.

"I'm learning Hebrew so when I go to heaven so I can speak with Moses and Abraham," replies the old man.
"How do you know you're going to heaven? What happens if you go to hell?" asks the guard.
And the old man says, "No problem. I already speak Russian."

Thanks for allowing me to remember something from my early army days.

My airborne jump school Drill Sargent, SSG Jessie Rainwater regularly uttered a similar phrase 175 to 200 times everyday.
How do I know?

A woman Goes to buy parrot…the prices are $100 , $200 and $15…she asks why the last one is cheap?
"Because he used to live in a brothel" says the shopkeeper. She pays $15.
When she gets home the parrot says: "Hey, a new brothel!" The woman laughs.
When her daughters get home the parrot says: "hey, 2 new prozzies!" The girls laughs too.
When the dad gets home the parrot says: "Hey Pete, haven't seen you for weeks!"

Four brothers left home for college to become a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist, and an entertainer.
They all prospered and each one was able to give their elderly mother a special gift.
Some years later, chatting after a Seder dinner, they discussed the gifts that they gave their dear mother.
The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."
The second said, "I had a $100,000 theater built in the house."
The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver her a Mayback S680 with a chauffeur."
The fourth said, "Listen to this. You know how Mama loves reading the Torah and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Torah. It took 12 rabbis 20 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for 20 years but it was worth it. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it."
Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her Thank You notes. She wrote:
"Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks so much."
"Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes...and the driver is a Nazi. A million thanks."
"Menachem, you give me a theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly blind. Thanks anyway."
"Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious."
"Because he used to live in a brothel" says the shopkeeper. She pays $15.
When she gets home the parrot says: "Hey, a new brothel!" The woman laughs.
When her daughters get home the parrot says: "hey, 2 new prozzies!" The girls laughs too.

There's a joke forum on Reddit. I'm picking out good ones to post here.
A father is listening to his young daughter say her bedtime prayers. She says, "God bless Mommy, and God bless Daddy, and God bless Grandma… and goodbye, Grandpa"...
The father looks startled. "Why did you say goodbye to Grandpa?" he asks.
"I don't know," she says. "I just felt like saying it."
The next day, Grandpa drops dead.
"Well," the father thinks, "that's a strange coincidence."
A month later, he's listening again as she says her prayers.
"God bless Mommy and Daddy… and goodbye, Grandma."
Sure enough, the next day Grandma passes away.
Now the father knows this is more than coincidence—but he doesn't dare tell his wife. After all, Grandma and Grandpa were her parents.
Months go by.
One night, he listens nervously as his daughter begins her prayers: "God bless Mommy…"
She pauses, turns her head, looks straight at him, and says, "…and goodbye, Daddy."
"What?!" he blurts out. "Are you sure, sweetheart?"
She nods.
The man's heart starts pounding. He breaks out in a sweat and doesn't sleep at all that night.
The next day, he goes to work but locks himself in his office. He cancels all meetings, takes the phone off the hook, and waits for the inevitable.
He stays late—past 5 p.m.—because he feels safer there. The hours crawl by. Finally, midnight arrives.
Still alive.
Relieved but completely exhausted, he drives home, drenched in sweat and shaken to his core.
His wife is waiting for him. "Where the hell were you all day?!" she demands.
"Don't yell," he says. "I've had an absolutely miserable day."
She replies, "You had a miserable day? I'm the one who had a miserable day! The milkman dropped dead on the front steps…"
