PARAPROSDOKIANS are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence is unexpected.
Winston Churchill loved them.
Some examples:
♦ Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
♦ If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
♦ War does not determine who is right – only who is left.
♦ Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
♦ They begin the evening news with ‘Good Evening,’ then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.
♦ To steal ideas from someone is plagiarism. To steal from many is called research.
♦ In filling in an application, where it says, ‘In case of emergency’, notify: I put ‘DOCTOR.’
♦ I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
♦ Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they look sexy.
♦ Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.
♦ A clear conscience is the sign of a bad memory.
♦ I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not so sure.
♦ Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. Nor is there any future in it.
♦ Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
♦ Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
♦ I’m supposed to respect my elders, but it’s getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

Explanation. The correct way to calculate this is to convert 50% into a decimal which is .5
1000 / .5 = 2000 – If you disagree, please go back to fifth grade math.
