      There is a trope of nonsensically combining statements, e.g. “at night it’s colder than outside” (it’s called Alogismus - is alogism a proper english word?). It’s children humor, most of them find it funny somewhere between 6 and 14 yo.

      This sentence is an example of that:

      • camels don’t sit in basements
      • you can’t chop kerosene
      • Christmas has nothing to do with the fact that the camel traveled via bicycle
