In the comic, one [[Cueball]] angrily asks "Where's my fucking jacket?". He clearly means to use "fucking" as an intensifier. However, the second Cueball character has (most likely intentionally in response to the unnecessary swearing) takes "fucking" to be an identifier of which jacket is being discussed (his fucking jacket as opposed to his winter jacket, or in this case his regular jacket). He gives a smart-aleck response that the "fucking jacket" is next to his "regular jacket". Having confused his counterpart who does not understand Cueballs sarcastic response, second Cueball dismisses the topic.

We have this conversation at least once a day in my apartment
Title text: We have this conversation at least once a day in my apartment

Explanation[edit]

Cueball clearly means to use fucking as an intensifier. However, the friend (likely intentionally in response to the unnecessary swearing) takes fucking to be an identifier of which jacket is being discussed, and gives a smart-aleck response. His counterpart gets confused by the sarcasm, and the topic is dismissed.

The title text states that this often occurs in Cueball/Randall's apartment.
