Comedic Timing

That Boyfriend, B, and his best friend T were having a production meeting at B's house and decided to pull a prank.  Before everyone arrived B told T to hide in the closet and just stand there so that when people opened it to put away their coats, there he'd be, staring back at them.  T agreed this would be amusing and stepped into the closet.

B got distracted and when people started to arrive and asked where to put their coats, he said "Oh, just throw them on my bed."

45 minutes later someone said "Isn't that T's car outside?  Where is he?"

And then T, deadpan as always, stepped out of the closet, said "Here," and sat down.

There are people who would kill for timing like that.
