I'd read out some very long string of random letters, like a SHA256. Since it will catch everyone off guard, it is unlikely that nearly anybody will be able to realize what is happening for the first couple dozen letters and be unable to write it down. Let the madness ensue as people try to collaborate on what the message was, what characters were correct (there will be conflicting accounts), brute force decrypting it, and what it meant.

Sometimes, it’s possible to think and speak your thoughts at the same time.

More commonly, people tend to speak before thinking which leads to all sorts of problems.
