PARAPROSDOKIANS
Here is the Wikipedia
definition of this word:
"Figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence
or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently used
in a humorous situation."
"Where there's a will, I want to be in it," is a type of
paraprosdokian.
Ok, so now consider!
1. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down
to his level and beat you with experience.
2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's
still on my list.
