VIII. Incongruity

Incongruity

I am looking for things that place some subject in a context it wouldn't
normally be. A hackneyed example is the fashion plate model in a mink coat
and diamonds, wearing heels and leading a miniature poodle - walking through
a building site. We can do better than that though. The subject needn't be
a person, it can be an object, or, if you can think of how to do it, an
idea. The context needn't be a real place but could be a contrived scene -
or it could simply be suggested. The incongruity could be of something
other than place - time, temperature, speed.

I hope this will be a wide enough brief to bring in a real variety of
interpretations, but will also give people the chance to stretch themselves
if they want to take up the challenge.

Me? I have absolutely no idea, as yet, what I'm going to do for it.
