I was listening to the radio earlier and heard someone use the phrase, "Horseshoes and hand grenades". 

What about other words that start with the same letter but are totally different and have no relation?
After all, horseshoes have nothing to do with hand grenades.

Come up with two words that begin with the same letter but have absolutely nothing to do with one another.

What can you come up with?

Well, the full expression is "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades".  So they do have that small bit in common, in that if a grenade is close to your target or you're relatively close to the pole in horseshoes, you still score.

Still...  This is a rather random thing so, I'll give it a go.

That was explained clearly in the film "The Jerk" when Steve Martin's adoptive father showed him the difference in a horse pen.
OK to add to the list.

Ah.  I knew I'd heard that phrase somewhere before but couldn't remember who said it and what it meant.
Thanks.   Smile
