Extemporize:
To improvise or make up on the spot.
I often find that I am an avid extemporizer,
Stuck in joking conversation:
I extemporize.
"Tell me a joke,"
So I improvise, I think of one on the spot.
A classic comes to mind:
"What's black and white and red all over?"
"I hear you're the world's best expert in octopi,"
my friend says, citing the beginning of a game we like to play.
"Well, octopi actually come from outer space," I extemporize.
Extemporizing: something I do constantly. Sometimes it sounds silly, and it's meant to. It's a game of words and confidence.
Sometimes, it's a quick escape out of a surprise situation.
Extemporization: a helpful skill.

Great examples as part of a definition -- they really highlight a unique part of your personality, it sounds like. I'd never have thought of "extemporizer" as a version of extemporize, but it's kind of hilarious, and I wish it were a real word.
