non sequitor

I've just had a little row with my dad, who is THE king of non-sequitor.
Everything he says is there to confuse but also misses the point entirely but at the same time, making him look smarter. Sometimes he'll even answer opposite replies to the same question within the same five minutes (very very annoying). I wish I could quote some examples of what he says, but at this point, I think I would just frustrate myself.

So, I don't really know what the question is here, I guess it could be "Non Sequitor C/D" or "S/D" or "Top100" but just tell us about your experience with this little quirk of thought and language.

Arguing with my band's drummer about the future of our band, he says, among other things:

"You got peanut butter and you got gasoline, and those don't mix."

"If you're trying to butter toast, you've only got two choices; the crusty side and the fresh side. Aren't you getting tired of the crusty side?"

Kinda paraphrased but you get the idea.

once I had a fish
fed that little thing too much
I guess I killed her

I had an aunt once who had a tumor in her neck about the size of a summer squash.

What the odds that this thread that this will descend into a succession of non sequiturs?

The cross-post voided my bet.
