Tapping
Sometimes the best fun looks like boredom.
[Click comic to enlarge]
Title text: Sometimes the best fun looks like boredom.

Explanation

This is something to relate to, and a fun observation about part of human nature. Sadly, Cueball doesn't feel like telling Megan what he did, and just gives her an empty answer. What would you have said?

Transcript

Man: Hung out.

Discussion

- What can we learn from this? - I've learned that even when we are bored, we can still find lessons all around us. Such as a lesson in variable density of any surface (in this case, wood) and a new method of entertainment (thank you Mr. XKCD). - E-inspired (talk) 16:40, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
