Please challenge me

I'm really annoyed today for lots of different reasons, and I can't really concentrate on work or the stories already in progress.

So to get my head in order, I'm asking for some challenges and ideas.
If you can please give me one or more of the following:
1) a really strange plot hook, 1 to 2 sentences.
2) three or more things, settings, locations, characters, etc, that don't seem to fit together.
3) a single sentence, the stranger the better, that has to be properly used in the story.

I'll take one or more of the suggestions and make a short story out of it, and post it tonight or early tomorrow. That should get my creativity flowing again without ending in horrifying darkness and bloodshed.

Thanks.
