Nowhere
I mean, seriously, NOWHERE? For starters, there are like a thousand species of dinosaur.
Title text: I mean, seriously, NOWHERE? For starters, there are like a thousand species of dinosaur.

Explanation

The phrase used by Cueball in the first panel is the sort of thing that many people say to their significant other, suggesting that they are so happy together that there is nowhere else anywhere that they would rather be in. Megan, however, takes the saying literally and imagines herself riding a dinosaur suggesting that she would rather be doing just that. This, and the title text are saying that the likelihood that out of all the possibilities in the universe, the chances that the one single place you would most want to be is just sitting with your significant other is fairly low.

Seriously though, who wouldn't want to ride a apatosaurus if given the chance?
