A paraprosdokian (from Greek "παρα-", meaning "beyond" and "προσδοκία", meaning "expectation")  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. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax. Some paraprosdokians not only change the meaning of an early phrase, but also play on the double meaning, creating a syllepsis .

A very pretty young speech therapist

 

A very pretty young speech therapist was getting nowhere with her Stammerers Action  group.

She had tried every technique in the book  without the  slightest success.

Finally, thoroughly exasperated, she said "If any of you  can tell me the name of the town where you were born, without stuttering, I will have
wild and passionate sex with you until your muscles ache and your eyes water. So, who wants to go first  ?"

The Englishman piped up.  "B-b-b-b-b-b-b-irmingham", he said.

"That's no use, Trevor" said the  speech therapist, "Who's next ?"

The Scotsman raised his hand and  blurted out "P-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-aisley".

That's no better. There'll be no sex for you, I'm afraid, Hamish.
How about you, Paddy  ?

The Irishman took a deep breath and eventually blurted out  "London".

Brilliant, Paddy! Said the speech therapist and immediately set about living up to her promise.

After 15 minutes of exceptionally  steamy sex, the couple paused for breath and Paddy said

"-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-erry".
