+ | [[Megan]]'s sister has a crush on [[Cueball]], but Cueball doesn't feel the same way about her sister. To alleviate the situation without hurting Megan's sister's feelings, Megan wants Cueball to deliberately take her sister out on a bad date to convince her that Cueball is not worth dating, so that her sister can move on without rejection. Cueball becomes extremely excited at the thought of deliberately having a bad date, especially because he has had some awkward dates in high school. The joke is that people often want their dates to go as well as possible, and this is a rare opportunity to do the exact opposite. | ||

When they occurred he had either no excuse or a poor excuse for why he was so awkward, but now this comic is going to be used as an explanation as to why. It is similar to thinking of a good comeback to an insult after the fact; this is his retort to ships that sailed long ago. |
