A time traveler from the 20th century has only 15 minutes to negotiate a trade for an artifact to prove that he’s been to the 30th century.
“Look, don’t you get it? I’m a time traveler. They picked me to send to the future. I’m important.”
“Ummm. But you must realize that we have time travelers turning up continuously these days.”
