Something else comes to mind. I recently read about an incident where protesters were throwing rolls of toilet paper at a group of people that included the Queen Mum. She calmly picked one of the rolls up and carried it to the man who had thrown it and asked quite "innocently" and "helpfully," if it was his...? That she thought he'd want it back.

He was so startled that he took it and everybody stopped throwing them.

I have a friend who occasionally pulls something similar when somebody says something outrageously ugly as a joke. She will play innocent and wide-eyed and "not understand," forcing them to explain, and perhaps explain again, until they shut up in embarrassment.

I wonder how somebody who made comments about running cyclists off the road to scare them would respond to a wide-eyed, "Really! You would do that? Do you know one of them? They must have done something horrible to you! Wait, you would run a stranger off the road? Why?"

Etc., until they realize what asses they're making of themselves!
