I used to do this all the time. Some stranger asks you a question (directions, the time, etc) and you answer with something that makes no sense and is only funny to you and your friends.
One of the oft-used phrases was "No thanks, I already have a penguin" but I also remember "No one suspects the butterflies" and "Cheese is made from milk" and "did you even notice that grass is like...everywhere?"
Stupid, yes...but good for a chuckle or two - and great fun to make them up on the fly.
Yeah...I was a weird kid
