Verb the Noun

Two men approach each other on the sidewalk. One has his face buried in a newspaper and doesn't notice the other right away.

Man 1
"Hey! Noun? Noun, is that you?"

Man 2 (looks up from his paper)
"What? Oh, Noun! How ya verb? Doing adverb?"

Man 1
"Yeah - I'm doing totally adverb! Oh yeah - di you get that noun I verbed?"

Man 2
"Yeah, sorry to hear you won't be able to verb with pronoun tonight."

Man 2
"I hear that. My noun has me verbing like crazy. Especially on the weekends."

Man 1

Man 2
"A bit. The worst part is that now when I verb, I also verb adverb adverb."

Man 1
