i love it!! my favorites are (when asked by someone in the grocery store):
"How come your kids are not in school today?"
"because their bullet proof vests are at the cleaners"
or to just look horrified and say, "school? do mean people still send their kids AWAY during the day to schooling facilities??" gasp "poor things".
