Paraprosdokians

Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part is unexpected and frequently humorous. (Winston Churchill loved them.)

2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you ... but it's still on my list.
 
3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
 
4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
 
5. We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.
