A two-panel SMBC comic framed as a question and answer. Panel one header: "Question: What did the logician say to the man who was struck by lightning?" It shows a red-haired man screaming inside a burst of yellow lightning. Panel two header: "Answer:" A calm bespectacled logician in a suit tells the singed, frazzled-haired victim beside him, "Relax, the odds of dying from this are less than the odds of getting struck by lightning." Votey (aftercomic): The disheveled victim, now drawn with a furious face, snaps, "What're the odds you're an asshole?!" The logician deadpans, "Precisely 1."
