Whenever I meet somebody for the first time, I don’t ask them where they work, what hobbies they have, and other bullshit. My first question is always, “How do you feel about platypuses?”
If they look at me as though I’ve suddenly grown a second head, I turn around and walk away. If they say that they love platypuses, I slap them across the face then turn around and walk away. If they say that they hate platypuses, I spit under their feet then turn around and walk away.
It’s hard to make new friends in this modern, soulless society.

Sure does! We had a similar method in Russia, but somewhat dangerous, rather than amusing: we would insert a phrase from the first sentence of second chapter of Master and Margarita. Since the book was forbidden, the only ones who could continue the sentence were subversive elements who read forbidden books. Alternatively, they could have been well trained KGB agents, of course.

I love that book. Tati introduced me to it a few years ago. I must check out more of Mikhail Bulgakov’s works.

In that case, look for The Heart of a Dog.

What would your response be to someone who replied, “I’m rather curious about any biofluorescent critter.”
