Friend: "Turn on the TV."

Me: "Why?"

Friend: "Michael Phelps is on."

Me: "What's he doing?"

Friend: "Flailing his arms."

Me: "Is he swimming?"

Friend: "No."

Me: "Then why is he flailing his arms?"

Friend: "It's for a video game he's demonstrating on Jimmy Fallon."

Pause.

Me: "What?"

Friend: "It's a swimming video game."

Me: "How does it work?"

Friend: "Why won't you just turn on the TV?"

Me: "I'm lazy."

Friend: "Then you wouldn't like this game."

Me: "I like games."

Friend: "You move around in this game."

Me: "Does it have tubes of water in your face?"

Friend: "No."

Me: "Does it make you wear a Speedo?"

Friend: "No."

Me: "Does it make you throw up on Christmas morning?"

Friend: "No."

Pause.

Me: "Maybe I would like it."

Friend: "Totally."
