#2 "we are here to do our jobs."

An interesting term of reference. Quite paraprosdokian.

#3 "we are here to do our jobs."

To take down Trump by any means necessary?

#6 I can use it in a sentence: Monty Python were the kings of paraprosdokian humor.

#7 Its different, because he is a "reporter". Reporters are special.

#8 No he is not a 'reporter' as a reporter reports the news. He doesn't report 'news' but propaganda from his left-wing masters.

#11 I’ll look it up in a moment, though jpal’s sentence suggests what I’ll find. I would have to work so much harder to find things to learn if I didn’t have Rantburg! :-D

#13 I try to be helpful.

Paraprosdokian, with 37 examples.

#14 My first experience with Cable TV, back in the early 80's, one of the channels was the raw AP news article feed. Blank and white paragraphs showing the unadulterated headers for news events.
It was very informative to turn around and see the Nightly MSM News (NBS/ABC/CBS) after the appropriate *Spin cycle* had been applied. You would almost think they were talking about two unrelated events ... as presented by hacks like Acosta or Blitzer.
