Explanation
This comic is a take on the common plots of pornographic movies. Hot sausage is a euphemism for penis, the motif of a plumber is also common in porn, and French maids appear often as well. As in most xkcd comics, the plot is subverted and the characters end up playing Agricola (board game). In the game the objective is to build a stable family farm, contrasting with the apparently dysfunctional family in the comic.

What does "Hush, you have starting player" mean? Djbrasier (talk) 00:07, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- Added an explanation, but left the incomplete-tag since I'm not a native speaker, and I'm not quite sure about the grammar, but I hope it's clear now, what the explanation of "Having starting player" is. Maybe someone could just re-read my text and correct it if needed. And than remove the tag. 141.101.64.65 09:00, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
It could also be that the three of them are strippers or something, there to work, but mixed up the house they're supposed to be at; after all, "Jones" is only slightly less common than "Smith" as a last name in America. 162.158.111.229
