Paraprosdokian - The term for a figure of speech in which a sentence or phrase has an unexpected or surprising ending. Often used for humourous effect, and thus heavily used by comedians.

Example:  “Where there’s a will, I want to be in it.”

You were warned, although the warning probably diminished the paraprosdokian impact. 

A student of mine had this on her shirt today, "If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong."

I feel like I'm watching those news screens in the back of the newscasters where they show stuff.

My daughter woke me around 11:50 last night. My wife and I had picked her up from her friend Sally's birthday party, brought her home, and put her to bed. My wife went into the bedroom to read while I fell asleep watching the Braves game.

"Daddy," she whispered, tugging my shirt sleeve. "Guess how old I'm going to be next month."

"I don't know, beauty," I said as I slipped on my glasses. "How old?"

She smiled and held up four fingers.

It is 7:30 now. My wife and I have been up with her for almost 8 hours. She still refuses to tell us where she got them.

Nice.
If you were expecting something meta, here it is: Just look up the rickroll address and take it. Save me the trouble.
And since I'm so behind the times that rickroll is so outdated, just take the newest fad and take it.

Either way.....you're wrong.

My brother took being sent to jail really badly.

He refused all offers of food and drink, spat and swore at anyone who came near him, and smeared the walls with his own feces. 

After that we never played Monopoly again.
