Linguistic humor
Two Romans walk into a bar and sit at the table. When the waiter comes over, the first customer asks for wine, and the second, a Martinus. The waiter asks "What is that?" The customer replies "You know what a Martinus is, don't you? Martinus, Martini, Martino, Martinum, Martinorum." The waiter goes away and brings the wine. "Where's my Martinus?" asks the second customer. "You declined the Martinus, sir" replies the waiter.

Allow me to congratulate you for that parse-poor humor.

Very good sir! That's kind of a bilingual pun. 
Rene Descartes walks into a McDonald's and orders a hamburger and a Coke.
"Would you like fries with that, sir?"
"I think not."
{Poof!} Mr. Descartes disappears.

The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .
