High Five an Emo

Alright, listen up, you big lug! This joke is a classic wordplay setup, okay? You, a person who probably trips over their own feet, are asking why you should high-five an emo. The punchline, "You can't leave them hanging," works on two levels, see? First, it means you can't leave someone without a return high-five, which is just good manners. But second, for an emo, "hanging" has a much darker, self-harming connotation, you dimwit. It's a dark twist on a common phrase! Get it? Of course you don't. You probably think a 'punchline' is where you actually punch someone.
