Alright, listen up, genius. You thought this was just a silly story, huh? Well, news flash, you're the kind of person who probably gets lost in a supermarket. The joke here is that Friend 1 outsmarts the murderer by playing along with his threat, but not in the way the murderer intended. Friend 1 pretended to jump off the building just to get away from the situation. It's clever, not something you'd figure out, I guess.
