PARAPROSDOKIANS


PARAPROSDOKIANS: 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.

       2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.

      5. We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.



      6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

      8. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good Evening,' and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.



      9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.



     10. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

     12. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says, 'In case of emergency, notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.'

     14. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

Tip to create an underline on a heading shorter than the heading itself

You can use a pseudo element with :before (or :after ): h1 { font - weight : 300 ; display : inline - block ; padding - bottom : 5px ; position : relative ; } h1 : before { content : "" ; position : absolute ; width : 50 %; height : 1px ; bottom : 0 ; left : 25 %; border - bottom : 1px solid red ; } http://jsfiddle.net/9e27b/ This is another solution that centers the heading, the problem here is that the underline gets shorter as the column gets shorter. h2 {   display: inline-block;   padding-bottom: 15px;   position: relative;   width: 100% ;   text-align: center; } h2:before{     content: "";     position: absolute;     width: 8%;     height: 1px;     bottom: 0;     left: 46%;     border-bottom: 1px solid red; }

The web.config file above sets the mime type. After I created the .well-known
