Heh
It suddenly occurred to me that the best response to the question "what are you wearing?", aside from the obvious, "nothing at all, why do you ask?" (reserved for when people can't see you, obviously), has got to be, "What aren't I wearing." Best said with a quirk of the eyebrow, even if they can't see you. Well, it's the currently the best, until I get a better idea. I suppose it's always amusing to answer questions with completely random answers. "I am wearing a halibut, thank you" might be funny too, but that could quickly degrade into some rather dirty jokes regarding placement of said halibut, so that one's best left alone. How does one even respond should someone answer with, "I'm wearing a ten-ton whale at the moment. It's rather heavy."? I'm not sure why I keep answering with aquatic animals as clothing choices.
The, "I'm wearing your MOM!" works well for the burn, I would think, but there are always more creative and better ways than that. I think "saran wrap, duct tape, and flan" would be delightfully confusing. Imagine someone getting that answer and seeing their face as they try to figure out if they really want to ask a follow-up question or not. Priceless. Of course, knowing my friends, they'd think it was stupid and ask what flan is. Still...
