What would you say?

Say you're waiting on the bus, train, metro, check-out line, anywhere you're next to a stranger with about a minute to talk.

A guy turns to you & asks, "So what do you think the pinnacle of humanity is?"

"Individual and collective self-reflection."

Probably the creation of an international network of bloodbanks - I find that the fact that countless people happily give up their time and blood, in return for nothing, for the benefit of people they'll never meet, quite heartening.

Also halloumi.

Did this happen? Or are you just looking for a snappy answer "just in case"?

You should say "You're looking at him."...then slowly walk away from that weirdo.

Edit- Even better...moonwalk about the 1st 10-15 feet away, then do that stupid Gangnam style dance the rest of the way.
