Like most things, that probably depends on the purpose of the form.  Like being 
asked to provide a middle name (or initial) when you do not have one.  A broken 
"entertainment" form gets dealt with in the same way as people who ask how to 
spell my name:  "however you like, it is for your entertainment, not mine".  Or 
that perenial "What is your mothers' maiden name?".  Do you really need that 
and if so why, or is this just for entertainment purposes, in which case you 
will get an entertaining answer.  There are extremely few places where 
providing the "right" information is required, and the rest are best just being 
given appropriately entertaining answers ...

Its like the stupid "security questions" thing.  I always answer them with a 
vulgarity.  It is always entertaining when talking to someone on the phone and 
they want to verify the answers but cannot because they "are not allowed to use 
that sort of language".
