I heard Harry Anderson say something similar on Night Court one time. He said, "If a hen and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a rhesus monkey to knock all the seeds out of a dill pickle?"

I always liked the nonsense of that and have thrown it out there from time to time over the years whenever a bit of nonsense seemed necessary. But after getting the puzzled looks, I'd usually follow up with something like, "Yeah, I know, it's a trick question, because really, there aren't enough potato chips in a barrel of monkeys to cover a doghouse, so what do you do with all the fish?"

This is one among many things that makes my wife question certain life choices she's made.
