“When I die, I’m leaving my body to science fiction.”–Steven Wright
Steven Wright. Would science take this?
When I die, I’m just leaving. Happy paraprosdokian spring.

Thanks – so I learned a new word 🙂 First I thought I am lacking knowledge of the English term “paraprosdokian” – until my dictionary told me it is the same word in German!
I’m impressed that you knew it even in German. I had never heard it until I came across it in the Wikipedia article on Steven Wright
I didn’t knew it in German – I learned of the German word via trying to translate the English word unknown to me and found they are exactly the same.
Paraprosdokian! What a word! My mind is blown that such a thing exists!
On the other hand, my mind was blown decades ago. Or maybe “shot” is a better word. 😀
Haha, well said!
