+ | Hairy, Blondie, and Cueball are in a business meeting unrelated to geography or geopolitical boundaries. Hairy asks if anyone has any other concerns (presumably related to the subject at hand), to which Cueball voices an entirely unrelated problem: Minnesota, due to the shifting of tectonic plates, is slowly decreasing in size. The humor comes from the fact that this is completely unrelated to the topic of the meeting and not even a very significant problem (considering the literally glacial speed of the shrinkage) and yet Cueball finds it important enough that "all meetings should be about Minnesota" until the problem is solved. | ||
