The humor lies in the improbability for him to fall in love and have an affair within 90 seconds, the impossibility for him to have a son in that time, and the ridiculous notion that the son would now be about Megan's (and thus also Cueball's) current age. This is of course impossible as it would imply that Cueball experienced twenty-ish years of life in what felt like 1.5 minutes for Megan. (He might conceivably have managed to have sex in that time span, which would fit with the experience of Cueball in [[1068: Swiftkey]]). |
