Lizard people is a conspiracy theory that says shape-shifting lizard-like humans have taken over the world not only by simply infilitrating our governments but by also infiltrating our secret societies (which control the governments). Weird Al covered it in a song.
I was basically going for comedic effect by using the absurd incongruence of responding to a reasonable authoritative imperative with the implication that the only valid reason for it would be some far ranging and improbable sinister plot.
Kind of like how a child might respond to a parent saying, "Eat your lima beans or I'll put them in the fridge and you'll see them again tomorrow night" with "YOU HATE ME AND WANT ME TO DIE!"... except way more meta.
And I was also looking for a way to setup a reason to link to that Weird Al video.
