Non-Sequiturs

[ThreeWords]

I was listening to the radio, and I heard the newsreader announce that "the Pope has spoken on the value of silence", which seemed more than a little odd.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had heard any strange choices of words, or indeed non-nonsensical phrases used often in conversation. If so, please share...

I think that's less of a "non sequitur" and more "ironic".

For great non sequiturs, play Sam & Max: Hit the Road, that game had a built-in non sequitur dialogue option. Banana.

A few days back, while nostalgically playing Super Smash Bros Melee, one of my friends uttered the phrase "Hmm...Tastes like uterus."

It almost made sense, in context. But not quite.

yeah, I see what you did there, "banana". also, any chance your avy is from lucky star anime?

OT: yeah, it would be irony, as stated above, at least the generally excepted definition of irony.

My avatar is indeed Konata from Lucky Star Also, isn't the generally accepted definition of "irony" "anything I want it to be"? Or to quote Futurama's Robot Devil "How ironic! You, finding ME in the refrigerator!"
