What to put on the sign
“I'd be a real CHICKEN not to ask. HOCO?”
One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.
The plan
Grab a rubber chicken from the party aisle and tie a paper tag around its neck. Walk up, hand it to them with a straight face, and let them read the tag before either of you cracks. It is stupid on purpose, which is the whole reason it lands and the reason they will show everyone at the table.
