The last panel of the comic implies that the two hadn't purchased fire insurance beforehand, and plan on purchasing it now, only to make a claim immediately afterwards. At this point Cueball has been won over by Megan's plan and tries to help by searching for insurance companies using Google. They wish to find the company that pays out the most. This plan will almost certainly not work since insurance typically only covers events that begin ''after'' purchasing the insurance, and does not cover anything that happens before purchasing the insurance, or that is intentionally caused. | The last panel of the comic implies that the two hadn't purchased fire insurance beforehand, and plan on purchasing it now, only to make a claim immediately afterwards.

| β | The title text shows just how distorted Megan's and Cueball's thinking has become, as one of them suggests burning down '''all''' the houses in order to claim the insurance money for them. This plan will also not work. Even if insurance has been purchased for these other homes, the insurance companies will pay the owners of those homes, not Cueball and Megan. Instead, Cueball and Megan would likely be arrested for multiple charges of arson and end up in prison for a very long time. | + | The title text shows just how distorted Megan's and Cueball's thinking has become, as one of them suggests burning down '''all''' the houses (in their vicinity?) in order to claim the insurance money for them.

The take home message of this comic must be: '''Never''' use a UV light in your bathroom. Maybe Randall did this by mistake causing the creation of this comic. (Randall has previously warned people about similar diagnostics in [[860|860: Never Do This]].) | The take home message of this comic must be: '''Never''' use a UV light in your bathroom.
