        Ah, I see! Paraprosdokians are a type of figure of speech in which the meaning of a sentence is not revealed until its completion, resulting in a humorous or unexpected twist. They are often used in jokes or witty remarks. Here’s an example:

        “I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for his blessings.” - Steven Wright

        In this joke, the unexpected twist comes from the combination of the two sentences, where the speaker asks for a bike and then takes matters into their own hands by stealing it, only to ask for blessings afterward.
