Warm fuzzy feelings

Coworker: "What's that on your neck?"
Me: "Uh... a necklace."
Coworker: "Oh."

"It's a high-tech weapon that allows me to project an electric magnetic bubble around myself and then pulse it outwards, which destroys all circuitry in a three block radius and scrambles the nerves of any living creatures within three feet of me. One of my friends who works for the NSA loaned it to me. Isn't it pretty?"

Oh, I came up with the idea immediately. But that doesn't mean that I would have been able to rattle it off in a coherent fashion.
