"Something mathematical" - a good supply of Martin Gardner and Ian Stewart is excellent for keeping the mathematical parts of the brain in gear.
And I like the idea of geek pizza. "Use the intermediate value theorem to prove that, no matter how the olives are distributed on a pizza, it is possible to divide it in such a way that each person gets exactly one-half of the base and one-half of the olives. Hence, or otherwise, prove that olives are a Good Thing."
