Yesterday, I was in the hospital for clinic with my students. We broke for dinner (I have an evening clinic), and I decided to get a burger and fries. A lot of the staff at the hospital know me, as I used to work there so I'm being friendly and chatting people up.
I get in line to pay for my dinner. The cashier gives me a friendly greeting, "Hey, how ya doing this evening?"
Me: fine, how are you tonight?
Cashier: ......
Me:
Cashier: Ma'am, I can't ring you up if I don't know what you're getting.
Ooops!
I forgot to open the take out container.
Me: well, you know, I was really trying to trick you into revealing your secret identity by using your X ray vision.
Cashier: They'll never get me that way.

Good banter there. It's fun to work with people who have a good sense of humor.
