My mom has this belief that there is a high comedy in taking two unrelated things and putting them into the same sentence.
Shitty example: "She Ichabod my Crane until I jack-o'-lantern"
The humor of the sentence comes from the person who is listening to you attempting to connect the two parts, and you getting to watch them draw the line.
This happens because people notice patterns and in a conversation it is the listener's job to understand what the speaker is saying.
And this is well and good for the most part but because we have that tendency it's easy to make horrible mistakes that we have a very difficult time disbelieving because we came to the conclusions ourselves.
Best case you end up like the no soap radio joke. Worst case, you end up in some sort of like weird Armageddon apocalypse right-wing conspiracy nut group talking about your weird imaginations with other people who also do not have a reality filter on their own imaginations.
