| Your Mom |
 Title text: 'It's either 'your mom' jokes or me' 'Then I, like so many men before me, must reluctantly choose your mom.' |
Explanation
"Your mom" jokes are frequently used by children and pre-teens (perhaps reaching their peak in middle school), and are seen by adults as being a sign of immaturity. Especially when used with great regularity.
We enter in the middle of a conversation about between Cueball and Megan about the status of their relationship. Megan has apparently just said that Cueball turns every conversation into a "your mom" joke and it's becoming unbearable. Cueball immediately turns that sentence into a "your mom" joke, and that's apparently the last straw.
For good measure, Cueball throws in a "That's what she said!" reference, which is a modern American version of the British expression "Said the actress to the bishop". It's used for purposes of double entendre, and gained its most recent surge of popularity as Michael Scott's catchphrase on the television series The Office. Megan simply replies that, "Yes. Yes, it is."
The title text takes the joke a little further, suggesting that Megan's mother has had many lovers in the past.

I think the title text doesn't say that Megan has been rejected by men in the past, but just a general "like many before me" justification of his decision. 141.101.97.215 22:08, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
The title text says that Megan's mum (f'ck y'all who cannae spell) has been used (not rejected, though only "reluctantly" on the mens' part - the implication being that the mother is easy but not generally considered attractive) by many men. It doesn't "justify his decision" - its another "your mom" joke about the number of men with which Megan's mother has had intimate relations, which Cueball feels compelled to add, compounding the likely destructive impact on his foundering relationship with Megan.
Not sure that "that's what she said' is Megan referring to herself in the third person - it seems more likely she's referring to her mother, with whom she (Megan) has presumably discussed her (Megan's) frustration with Cueball's apparent inability to stop making "your mom' jokes. 162.158.153.47 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- I agree. Both "mom" and "she" are underlined. It seems to suggest that Megan and her mother both think Megan should leave. -- Flewk (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
