My favourite was "The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."

Douglas Adams was really a master of subversion.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
