best Simpson's non sequitur?

I'd have to say yesterday's episode had my favorite. it was the episode where Bart has a pet elephant, and the line in question was after the elephant ran away. Homer is driving the car and runs into a statue of a dear and says "doh!" Lisa follows with "a deer!" and Marge says "A female dear." If anyone has seen Sound of Music, this should sound familiar: the "Do Re Mi" song.

So, what's your favorite? (Not line - has to be a non sequitur)

erm what's a sequitur

From Merriam-Webster:

an inference that does not follow from the premises; specifically : a fallacy resulting from a simple conversion of a universal affirmative proposition or from the transposition of a condition and its consequent

OR....

a statement (as a response) that does not follow logically from anything previously said

My favorite is the episode where Homer is telling Lisa about the history of her saxophone, and Grandpa randomly jumps in at some point and says "And that's when I started making money by selling my pills to dead heads!" or something like that. That episode was awesome. :lol

One thing that I never noticed (since it was such an old episode, and I was too young to "get it" when it was originally shown) was in the episode where Bart goes to France as an exchange student (and that kid from the country whose flag has a double headed eagle on it lives with the Simpsons). After Principal Skinner discusses the proposal with Homer and Marge, Marge goes upstairs to Bart's room to ask Bart about it. Bart's looking at his bullfrog which is incased in a glass jar.

<Bart> Ah, the life of a frog, that's the life for me.

*Marge opens the door and walks in*

<Marge> Bart, how'd you like to live in France for the next three months?
