==Explanation==
One of [[Cueball]]'s computers is [[:Category:Cueball Computer Problems|once again]] having a serious problem, which has resisted many hours of concentrated effort at resolution. [[Megan]] offers to help, but after trying to fix it she concludes that the laptop is [[725|literally]] possessed by a malevolent spirit.

In the second panel, Cueball exclaims that he has "given up on logic." This could be a deliberate reference to the paranormal; ghosts are supernatural entities, and are thus immune to attempts at logical explanation.

The title text continues the conversation: when Megan tries to return the laptop to Cueball, he refuses, as Megan willingly took possession of it in the first place. Both have clearly decided that they no longer want anything to do with an object housing a supernatural entity, and are trying to pass it back to one another.

:Megan: *sigh* Gimme. I'll figure it out.
:Cueball: You won't.
