YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

A man, Man, stands alone on a street corner. Another man, let's call him Man B, approaches.

Man: Hey, man.

Man B: Hey. Let's just walk down to the bridge.

They walk.

Man B: So I was using a fake name, but I can give you my real name and my primary e-mail address for further trades.

Man: Cool.

Man B gives Man an empty cigarette pack.

Man: Uh, what's this?

Man B: It's your stuff, neatly packaged in some tinfoil.

Man: Wait, I thought I was selling you stuff.

Man B: No, I thought I was selling you stuff.

Man: Oh. Well, um...

Man gives back the cigarette pack. Both men stare at each other awkwardly.

Man B: Do you still, uh, want it?

Man: No. Do you want my stuff?

Man B: No.

They continue to look at each other awkwardly. Minutes pass.

Man: Are you sure?

Man B: Yup.

More awkward staring. More minutes pass. With out saying another word, they head in opposite directions.
