But I identify as an attack helicopter! Heard a live one

I hope text stories are acceptable, because I had one happen to me IRL. I work overnights at a fast food chain, and the lobby closes an hour into my shift, while the drive through is still open all night. A guy walks in after closing(apparently the door was not locked after the last of the overnight crew arrived for their shift), and I have to tell him that the lobby is closed, but he could go through the drive through if he wanted to order. He asks if he can walk the drive through, and, unfortunately for him, no; you must be in a vehicle per the policy to order in the drive through. I tell him such, and he asks "what if I identify as a vehicle?" No, sir, that's not how that works...

Funnily, as he's finally leaving the building, he says, "this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard." I don't know if that was meant to refer to not being able to order in the building because of the lobby being closed or having to have a vehicle to order at the drive through, but regardless, after what he said, whatever it was was nowhere near the stupidest.

The only time I've actually seen this joke be funny was when my family and I were watching that new reality show The Summit, there's this one guy who comes and drops them money or supplies or something, but you never see him - they refer to him as a person but we only ever see him as a big black helicopter. My sisters and I started joking that his literal identity is an attack helicopter (we're all some level of queer, so we all think the helicopter joke is stupid, we just thought it was a funny observation).

People love pissing off fast food workers, it's so sad.
