I wouldn't dare defile Douglas Adam's memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:

Thank you stranger. If’s funny, I’m thinking of just posting key words sometimes to see how many downvotes I get because it reallly doesn’t make sense most of the time, unless it’s bots or other nefarious actors

So, if someone wants to be treated like a king, you treat them as such?

Yeah, you cut off their head.
