Haven't done these in a while, so here we go...
1. What would you do if you met a hobo in a dark alley offering to sell you the secrets of the universe for five dollars?
I would say no thank you, since it would probably be a scam to get my money and even if it wasn't, I'm not sure I would want to know the secrets of the universe anyway. If he persisted in following me trying to sell me his supposed secrets, I'd give him the five bucks and say, "Here! I don't want your crummy stuff, but if you want my money so much, take it, keep your secrets, and get out of my face!" and hope he stopped there.
2. What would you do if an anonymous person or persons unknown sent you a (real and actually working) TARDIS for Christmas, along with a big instruction manual explaining how to operate it?
Um... read the manual. Then read it again. Then read it again just to be safe. Then look up a random thing from history in the encyclopedia and use the TARDIS to travel to the time period when that thing existed. Thank the Doctor or whoever sent it to me. Maybe it was Rose Tyler? Mmm...
3. What would you do if you woke up in a desert with squirrels sleeping all over your body, and nearby an artist was painting a picture of you?
Go to the artist. Demand answers. And wonder how on earth I could be enough of a doofus to get into a situation like this.
4. What would you do if someone rang the doorbell and your mom told you to get the door, and at the door was a talking eight-foot tall banana selling toothpaste made out of monkey meat?
Wonder how odd this world really is. Inquire about prices. Pretend to listen to him. When he's finished, say, "No thanks. Toothpaste made out of monkeys sounds really unhealthy and unhygeinic." Slam the door. If my mom asks who it was, tell her it was a crazy homeless guy warning us of the zombie apocalypse. Then wonder for about the thirtieth time if I really saw that.

2. Fangirl. Then fangirl some more. And then read the manual several times. And then go see the premiere of Love's Labours Lost and hope that maybe the Doctor and Martha would be there. And then fangirl some more. And then thank the Doctor.

Whovians forever!

1) Probably scream "42!" in his face and get out of there as fast as I could.
2) Tell my Dr. Who obsessed friends. Hmmm. Hope they wouldn't steal it from me.
3) .... I don't know. Probably I'd freak out.
4) I'd remind him that only minty fresh toothpaste can save you when hanging over a crocidle infestied swamp and ask if he'd like to inquire to my mom instead.

@Theo
You stole my idea for number 1 :P
(November 8, 2013 - 9:05 am)
1) I would give him a giant hug and say,"Okay! Lets be beeeeeest frieeeeeends!" and we would dance off into the sunset!
2) I would throw the manual in the furnace and just play around with the controls until I find the bathroom or candy dispenser.
3)be like Italy from Hetalia and start to make friends with the squirrels while saying "Ve~" and ask the artist to blackmail one of my friends. (probably ~blue fairy~!)
4)Buy 10 cases of the toothpaste, shake his banana-appendage-thingy and thank him for doing business with me. when my mom asks who it was, I would say, "oh, just the religious telling us to switch over to their religion, as Armageddon is almost upon us!"

1. What would you do if you met a hobo in a dark alley offering to sell you the secrets of the universe for five dollars?
Heck, it's five dollars. Give it to him. If he runs off, maybe he really needed the money. I won't begrudge him.
2. What would you do if an anonymous person or persons unknown sent you a
(real and actually working) TARDIS for Christmas, along with a big
instruction manual explaining how to operate it?
First, wonder what the heck a TARDIS is. Then, (after reading the manuel and this sounds like it time travels) go to EVERY time period I've ever been curious about!!! The Titanic, visit Cincinnati Ohio during the Great Depression, go out west with all the pioneers, see the Oregon Trail, go to Medieval times! OH! And of course, go back and see the shepherds and the Wise Men coming to see the Baby Jesus! Can you IMAGINE?! I mean really! (okay, going complete history nerd on ya'll.)
3. What would you do if you woke up in a desert with squirrels sleeping
all over your body, and nearby an artist was painting a picture of you?
Well for one, freak out. I really don't like squirrels. And I REALLY don't want the shots if one bites me. Two, check out the area! I mean, how many times do you get a chance to check out a desert? Finally, see how the painting was coming. I'm curious to see a painters take on me.
4. What would you do if someone rang the doorbell and your mom told you
to get the door, and at the door was a talking eight-foot tall banana
selling toothpaste made out of monkey meat?
Well for one, feel quite nervous. On average, I prefer not to answer the door. I've heard way to many stories. Two, wonder if it was some annoying person I know (for I've very few friends, but I know quite a few very annoying or very weird people) trying to prank me. If I come to discover it's not, probably vomit. The idea of toothpaste made out of monkey meat is disgusting! (Though I'm not a fan of monkeys in the first place. NOT. AT. ALL). Then slam the door, bolt it, and hope I never see whatever I just saw ever again.

1. Do exactly what Theo did. I actually came up with that and then read your comment. We might be sharing the same brain. I hope we're not. Please give me my brain back.
2. It's a bit big to fit in the garage... Read the instruction manuel. Read a summary of Dr. Who and the TARDIS's power. Go nuts with it.
3. ... What?
4. Have my mom come to the door.
