A man and a woman lie close together in bed after sex. The man's thought bubble panics: "Oh god... she's looking for a reaction. Say something romantic!" Out loud, he blurts: "I wish this condom would break, so we'd be stuck with each other forever." The votey, captioned "The following month," shows the man standing nervously across from the woman, backpedaling: "Uh... you know, that was really said in the heat of passion." The joke: his over-the-top "romantic" line implied wanting a pregnancy, and a month later he's awkwardly retracting it.
