Rusty has a spectacular aura aboutRusty has a spectacular aura about
What's that got/have to do with ...
... the price of fish? (Britain and Australia)
... the price of tea in China?
... the price of rice in China?
... the price of eggs?

My favorite thing to say to someone who says something off-topic is:
There are no bones in ice cream.

This is usually said with quite a bit of disbelief, as if you just heard the other person state that there are bones in ice cream.
