If there is a friend of a friend in the car that the driver doesn't really know, it's a legitimate response IMHO.
Apparently, you've never been a cop.

"Why, no, officer, I have no idea why you pulled me over" - every driver on southbound I-75 past the I-275 exit.
"That ain't mine . . . "
And my favorite:
"I pay your salary . . . "
"Yeah, I pay taxes too, and at the moment, I'm on my dime . . . "
One Sunday day shift I was directing traffic at a busy church when a van load of Hippies stopped & motioned me over. Thinking they wanted directions I walked over and quickly asked how I could help. One of them asked why I needed a gun to direct traffic, to which I responded; "To shoot people who ask stupid questions." Got my butt chewed by the sergeant but it was worth it.
I like the one where the cop is administering a sobriety test to a suspected DUI.
Officer: I want you to take 9 steps on this line, toe to heel, heel to toe.
DUI guy: Are you kidding? I couldn't do that sober.
