Garden path sentences are weird because they tend to be a result of new writers who haven't developed the skill to organize their thoughts in writing, but if you do it on purpose you're kind of a genius because they're hard to mimic when that skill has developed. (Someone is going to read this waiting for the garden path but there isn't one of the easieat jokes to make is subverting expectations.)
