False Statement implies Every Statement/Examples/Dilbert

Example of False Statement implies Every Statement

The apparent paradox False Statement implies Every Statement can perhaps be intellectually reconciled by considering the figure of speech in natural language:

If Dilbert passes his Practical Management exam I'll eat my hat.

That is, if statement $p$ is so absurdly improbable as to be a falsehood for all practical purposes, then it can imply an even more absurdly improbable conclusion $q$.
