Makes as much sense as...

Selling T-shirts at an Andrea Bocelli concert
Selling pork rinds at a Weight Watchers convention
Searching for "Dixie Dregs Lyrics"
Braille billboards
A roach coach pulling into a parking lot... at Google.

While riding home from work Friday, I saw a "Roach Coach" (i.e., a mobile diner, famous for serving greasy low-quality food) pulling into the parking lot at Google. My first thought was that the driver was lost (based on the confused look on her face). My second thought was that it didn't make much sense for a roach coach to be pulling into a Google parking lot. Which got me to thinking about things that don't make sense when you hear about them. Which led to me writing this post.
