It WAS Bozo the Clown on the popular kids' tv show Little Rock, Arkansas. (The previous answerer was correct.) Bozo would have local kids on each week as guests in "live audience" on stage, and he would interview some of them, asking silly trick questions. This question is one he was well-known for asking every episode.

My dad used to say that in the 1960's over and over and a lot of other dumb things like that he heard on 1930's radio comedy shows when he was a teenager, so it probably goes even farther back to at least Vaudeville circa 1910.
Oh honey, that iconic line was delivered by the one and only Dorothy Parker. She was a witty wordsmith known for her sharp tongue and clever quips. So, next time someone asks you that question, just remember you're channeling a bit of Dorothy's sass.
Oh, dude, that's a classic line from the movie "Good Will Hunting"! It was said by Will Hunting, played by Matt Damon. So, like, if you're ever asked that question, just remember it's not just about walking or carrying your lunch, it's about being a genius janitor with a troubled past.

Yes, because a telephone pole doesn't have doors.
I remember it from the Bozo show here in central Arkansas. Bozo use to ask kids this back in the early 80s.
