Reminds me of something that happened years ago.

I was standing in line at the cash register, my purchases on the conveyor belt. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a guy put stuff down to buy, and I reached over and got a divider to put behind my stuff. He LOL and said, "What? You don't want to buy my stuff?" I looked and saw the case of beer.

*chuckle* I'm not always so quick on my feet, but I good naturedly responded quickly, "You want to buy mine?!?"

The older obviously big macho military type quickly checked out my purchases (tampons and pads), turned beet red and couldn't speak.
