A character has suffered an [[Amusing Injuries|amusing injury]], usually of the blunt force to the head variety. Dazed, he will say something really random and [[Non Sequitur]], normally either before going out like a light or [[Waking Non Sequitur|after being awakened]]. It seems that with proper application of blunt trauma, the human skull becomes a radio receiver tuned to a random station somewhere in the world. Three [[Stock Phrases|common phrases]] used are "[[How Many Fingers?]] am I holding up?" (helpful bystander), "I don't wanna go to school mommy" and "Anybody get the license number of that truck?" (victim) |
