The Slow Elevator

[Nic and Richard get on an elevator heading down from the 28th floor. The elevator stops on the 25th floor, a man gets on and stares at his feet.]

Man: How are you guys?

Richard: Pretty well.

Nic: Fine, how are you?

Man: Oh I'm pretty good. Think I'm coming down with a cold.

Richard: That sucks, hope you get to feeling better.

Nic: Yeah, I had one of those last week, sucks man, sorry.

[There is a short pause after which the man looks up and stares directly into Nic's eyes.]

Man: So, what... you just like... grow out your beard?

Richard: Well, that and his arms.

Nic: Well, I mean...I have to water it sometimes.

[Man looks back down at his feet and we go the rest of the way to the lobby in silence. We get off and the man walks the opposite direction.]

Richard: I can't believe you lied to him about having a cold.

    You know that guy went home and started pouring water on his chin every night and morning. It's still never gonna be more that peach fuzz, way to get his hopes up.
    ...
    You should make a career out of this.

    Yes. You could make a fortune. Do you know how many desperate bald men there are in the western United States?!
    It's a veritable gold mine for con-artists!
