Rule and Exception Paradox

Wohoo! Finally, a paradox theory!
Wokay!
Statement 1: Every rule has an exception.

Now, if Statement 1 is considered to be a rule then, Statement 1 will also have an exception and THAT exception is that There is a rule, which has no exceptions. But according to Statement 1 EVERY rule has an exception, contradicting the initial Statement 1. Thus, Statement 1 is a paradox, as Statement 1, gives rise to it's exception and that exception contradicts the veracity of Statement 1.

Hence Screwed!
