Does your bank allow you to come up with your own "secret question", to be used as authentication when you phone in?

Bruce Schneier, one of the few sane veterans of the internet security industry, has come up with a way to make it a lot more fun. One of my favourite examples:
Q: I've been embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from my employer, and I don't care who knows it.
A: It's a good thing they're recording this call, because I'm going to have to report you.
Some of the ideas given in the Comments section are gold.
