I use this as a gag at Boy Scout Camp...

I have a Charlie Brown shirt that I wear around all day, usually get several comments from the Scouts about it to which I universally respond "Goooood Grief..."

At dinner, I give a package to the Camp Director, usually and Amazon box, addressed to "Charlie Brown" and ask him to announce to the camp he has a special delivery to Mr. Brown. I'll have my CB shirt on underneath my Class A uniform, so I take that off and I'll "walk" like a Peanuts character up to the stage. Take the package, with unbridled excitement, and open the package. Once I open the box and peer in, I take on a crestfallen look. Reaching in, I pull out a large rock and announce, to nobody's surprise, "I got a rock..." However, upon closer examination, I start to get a joyous look, at which point I intone "WAIT!!! This is no ordinary rock!!! This is a WEATHER ROCK!!!"

Anyone who's been involved in Scouting knows how precious a Weather Rock is...
