565: Security Question
| Security Question |
 Title text: "Let's invite him to a party and play 'I never'. Okay, I never hid any bodies SOUTH of Main Street. ... he's taking a drink!" |
[edit] Explanation
Security questions are sensitive questions that allow a user to retrieve/reset his password if he lost his password, or the password got stolen. Because of this powerful function, security questions are treated much more seriously than passwords, that you have to choose from a list of questions like "What's your mother's last name?" or "What's your secondary school?" and put in your personal information, so that nobody else can answer.
In this comic, however, the security question is deployed in a strange way, as the question "Where are the bodies buried?" assumes that one had buried bodies, hence had killed someone. And it turns out the police was trying to use this to trick him into catching the bait, and telling where the bodies are.
"I never" is a drinking game that somebody says "I never did something" to the others. If you never did it, you don't need to drink, otherwise, drink. Since he takes a drink for "I never hid any bodies south of Main Street", he has done it.
