I’v had almost the same situation. A cop pulled me over for running a red light. He asked me where I was coming from and I said “that way”. He then asked where I was going and I said “that way”. He laughed at my responses and told me to have a nice day and walked away. No ticket for red light.
Good one!
I take the opposite approach and politely and repsectfully go into a long, boring explanation packed with every little detail of my day. If he wants to ask the question I guess he really wants the answer.
Anyhow, you way of dealing with it sounds much simpler. Glad you found a COP with a sense of humor.

I had a similar funny experience in college, I was at an outdoor party that got a little loud and the cops came. One officer asked me for my id which I did not have on me at the time (I walked across the street from where I lived to the party). I explained I did not have an id but was not driving. He asked me why I wasn’t carrying an ID on me and I calmly explained that I didn’t need one, that I knew who I was already. He seemed to enjoy that answer and let me and the rest of the partiers go with a promise to turn the music down a little.
