When in High School I once, in the middle of history class, reached into my backpack and pulled out a stapler and computer mouse. This had the intended effect of distracting the teacher. He turned to me and asked, "What, exactly, are you doing?" I replied, "I'm being spontaneous."
His reply was pure gold, and sticks with me to this day. He said, "No you're not. You had to plan to put that stapler in your bag to be able to pull it out in the middle of class. That's anything but spontaneous!"
...this guy and his "choosing" to be eccentric reminds me of that experience.
