Non-Sequitur War!

I've really enjoyed all the muffins and the fine tapestries. Perhaps you should sell some of those thumbtacks.

I'm not exactly sure how a "non-sequitor war" works, but here's one actually said by a co-worker, some 15 years ago:
And speaking of drinks, I don't get paid enough to jump up and down in this dumpster.
For the record, I don't even think anyone mentioned drinks... so it was a sort of double-non-sequitor.

I have no idea what a non-sequitor is, but I do enjoy the odd spot of gardening.

Nitrogen is not found in Antartica because it is not found in a free state

Catgut is not made from the intestines of cats - usually sheep or goat - occasionally horse.

Non Sequitur
The phrase "non sequitur" is latin for "it does not follow." If an inference is made that does not logically follow from the premises of the preceding argument, then the inference is a non sequitur.
Though the term "non sequitur" can be used broadly as an informal fallacy to describe any unwarranted conclusion, it is most often used when a statement openly contradicts itself and makes no sense.
Here are some examples of some obvious non sequiturs. The first example gives two premises and a conclusion which does not follow. The second example gives two statements found in the same argument which contradict each other:
1. All cows graze in fields
2. All cows see the moon at night
C. All cows can jump over the moon
1. The solution to this dilemma is obvious
2. Only experts have sufficient knowledge to assess the solution to this dilemma

Green hats look better on sheep than on hamsters, but that depends if you like curry or not.

Oh, if you're gonna bring up goats, may I remind you that the white zone is for loading and unloading only, unless you thought to bring a board game along, in which case, I'll have the halibut.

Now for a southern saying:
