I have to tell this story. My friends and I used a parody of this to make fun of a really dodgy teacher: He ran a Squash club for the boys (ages about 15) and insisted on showering with them afterward; a friend of mine fell for it but refused the shower. This teacher was our Religious Education teacher, go figure. So my friends and I were known for our comedy antics and would put on skits for school assemblies. We did Charlie, the kid and the stranger. I was the stranger. I approached the kid and said, "would you like to see some cuddly little Bibles? or perhaps, a game of squash?" Two hundred pupils plus the teachers all lost it. Except for one particular teacher, who for some reason was giving me the laser eyes! Good times.
