Yuck!

If it were me I'd try to bolster my story by turning up carrying a bowl of petunias.

That's better than the famous Son of Blubber whale that required explosives to blow up...

It's a bit from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. The passage is here

Douglas Adams, HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy (or one of the other 4 books in the trilogy Don't quite recall which book it is...).

In one scene, a whale and a petunia suddenly materializes a fair bit above the surface of a planet. The whales continued life beyond that point is rather short, and its thoughts trying to figure out the situation are described in detail.

Edit: removed paraphrasing as the exact passage is linked above
