Get the punmug. "Thirty Helens Agree" was a brief sketch that opened several episodes of TV's THE KIDS IN THE HALL during its first season.

Then one or two of the Helens would appear and add testimony to the stated point -- "These have lasted me for years," or similar.

Get the Thirty Helens Agreemug. Stage name of an absolutely magnificent physical specimen, male, American, ca. 25 y.o., whose persona is that of a muscular but not veiny boxer (prize-fighter) and who has appeared in a number of sexually explicit photo shoots and videos, often if not usually gay.
On first appearing in gay pornography ca. 2008, Ferelli maintained that he was only gay for pay. He has, however, bottomed in many of his gay sex videos. In the opinion of this writer, Ferelli can do anything he wishes except go away. His virility is beyond mere fashion.

Get the delebmug. A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax . . . sometimes a very funny turn of phrase.
So what's a "paraprosdokian"?
"Like this: I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness."
"I don't get it"-
"Okay, how about: Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."
"You mean, something like: I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car."
"Phrasemaker!"
