TFA reminds me of a story that Sting used to tell about "disarming" crazy and/or drunk people in NYC by quoting Shakespeare at them (e.g. yelling "My mistress' eyes are brighter than the sun!" directly at them). He claimed it worked every time.

As absurd as it sounds, their brains had to find something to associate that context with. He gave off a signal, and they had to interpret it somehow. Maybe it was so absurd and out of context it just switched the entire context of what they were being processed at the time.

We're like walking flash drives constantly associating, downloading and updating our storage.

Disarm people with absurdity. I'd rather not test it out though
