[[Cueball]] is in contact with someone in a some typical text-chat context, who uses the nickname of "Surf King". His phone also knows of a person called John, which seems to be the real name of the same person, although Cueball appears to have been unaware or forgetful of that fact. The humor arises when Cueball mentions this to "Surf King", who is flabbergasted that Cueball is not aware of this fact.

Some algorithm that manages the contact-list has been offering (or trying) to merge the contact details into a single entry, as having the same core details, which intrigues Cueball but without him understanding why. Instead he directs a comment about this to "@Surf King", who apparently did not deign to respond (a typed-out ellipses as a common shorthand for being rendered speechless, as opposed to the temporary "Currently typing" ellipses).

Cueball's follow-up comment is clearly prompted by the realisation that his 'two' contacts both share an interest in surfing, perhaps having been in separate group conversations with both John and Surf King personae in the interim, and he decides to revisit the issue. But from Surf King's response it looks like he and Surf King have been chatting (indeed, in this specific chatroom) for several years, making it mildly impressive that Cueball apparently never made the connection between his identities in that time.

The title text implies that Cueball has had second thoughts about the compatibility of Surf King/John with himself, having picked up further cues from either or both of subsequent chats with him (outside of this particular channel) that reduce the perceived social compatibility. This could be explained by John being far more (or differently) extrovert when interacting via his more sporty pseudonym, or else by having subtly changed attitudes and interests over time while not actually using one or other identity to update others' impressions of him. Either of these can be due to his perhaps having let the Surf King account of his youth go mostly idle, instead interacting primarily by his given name to be taken more seriously in professional contexts. Alternatively, it might be explained by Cueball (in his mistaken understanding of John's identity) getting a clearer view of how John dislikes himself than someone who knows they are the same person might.

Considering your platform's Canadian audience and your potential interest in the Sports Betting and Casino niche, we believe a partnership could prove mutually beneficial.

It's also possible that Cueball, [[1674: Adult|being Cueball]], this (whatever it might ''actually'' be) might have gone completely over his head, with him not picking up on John's implication that he ''is'' Surf King, and the title text is yet another message sent to John.
