Only in the South Pacific

There are pairs of words that I wouldn’t usually think of putting together. I’m not talking about oxymorons like “business intelligence” or two-great-tastes things like “peppermint bologna”. More just words that you wouldn’t ordinarily expect would have any reason to associate. Like, oh, “iconoclast manhole-cover”, or Ukulele Orchestra.

I say “Only in the South Pacific”, but the first page of Google hits finds one in Great Britain and one in Denver, as well as the Wellington one, so.
