So what is the best, most insouciant line to try on one's companions while
they're offering their assistance and commiseration, all the while gagging
on their half-stifled laughter, the godless conscienceless *******s…..

Well, if you're prone to such Reiding around, and don't have the
inventor's grace about it all, then I can think of a few things...

Before the, er, "trip," get a compressible "Bozo" wig and pig snout from
a costume shop and hide them about your kit. Then slip the godless
*******s just enough peyote to keep 'em wondering. If a pratfall should
befall you, simply slip on the wig and nose as you recover, and then run
up to them and excitedly proclaim, "HOLY ****!! THE WHOLE BOTTOM IS
COVERED WITH THESE PLAID KUMQUATS!! THEY'RE FANTASTIC!!
YOU GOTTA TRY THEM!!" At this point, the looks on their faces should
tell you they're a little freaked out, but trying to decide just how
good those kumquats might actually be, if they aren't out trying to find
some for themselves...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, pretty tame stuff, but you DID say you wanted
insouciant...now, if you wanted something a little wild, what I'd do is
get 6...er, nevermind...not sure about the legalities of extr...hmmm,
better not say anymore...

HTH,
