My teacher told me, "You have no idea how powerful this quote is." I looked at her and told her, "You don't know how powerful the shotgun in my bookbag is."
Powerful Quote vs Shotgun in Bookbag

Explanation
Experiment
The humor comes from the unexpected and dark turn the conversation takes. The teacher is talking about the power of words, but the student responds by talking about the power of a shotgun, which is a total non-sequitur and a disturbing threat. The kid's response is way over the top for the situation, making the interaction super absurd and morbid.
