f1 means help

Man and I were calmly working on various projects.  As night slowly crept in through our windows, peace transcended into our living rooms.  All that could be heard was the scratching of a pen and clicking of keys.

Suddenly, Man interrupts.

Man: Do you use the F1 key?

Me:  Yes? [squinting at my keyboard] It unbrightens my screen.

Man: What?

Me: On Macs, it dims the screen.  I might use it on my PC at work, but I don't remember.

Man: Oh.

A minute passes.  I've gone back to writing.

Man: So you won't mind if I remove it then?

By the time my head swivels around, Man is already prying off his F1 key.

Man: F1 is the help key.  I never need help.  I usually just want to hit escape, and miss.

The joke practically writes itself, doesn't it?
