Used this one while in the catacombs underneath Paris.

no one has a true favorite word but cmon you gotta answer in the spirit of the question, i mean how often do you talk to people and you're like "my favorite color transcends your imagination, it's an amalgamation of every wavelength except red, did your mother teach you to ask people's favorite colors?"
