If you're using Chrome, the right column of this blog isn't displaying correctly. Switch to Firefox. If you're using the iPad, you're a tool. If you're using IE, go kill yourself.
(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Paraprosdokian

A paraprosdokian is a phrase, frequently used by comedians, whose latter part makes the reader or listener re-interpret the first part in some other way. An example would be from Mitch Hedberg:

I'm a heroine addict. I need to have sex with women who have saved someone's life.

Another would be this from Stephen Colbert:

Mark my words. No, Mark, I really need my words.
