ATTN JMS: joke

[Ryan Nock]

Both Londo and Eilerson cracked the same joke (in that episode with the
Babylon Emporium, and "Ruling from the Tomb"). Now, while the punchline's
already spoiled for us, can JMS reveal the joke so we can delight our
friends? If not, does anyone else have any idea what the joke is?

Spoilers for the joke's punchline.

To assist those who want to come up with the joke, here's the punchline.

One final warning.

"That's not my leg. That's my airhose!"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note that both episodes were written by Peter David, not JMS, though it's
possible the joke came from Joe...

I rather suspect it was Peter's joke, though, and it's very possible even
he doesn't know the set-up for the joke. On DC's second run of original
Trek comics, of which Peter wrote the first 12 issues, he had a female
character whose initials were supposedly something dirty or embarrassing.
When Peter was questioned on the words behind those initials by a person
higher-up (as in an editor or something), he replied that he had no idea,
and said it just made for fun character stuff.

Still some of us wonder about those initials... and that joke...

Peter David wrote both those episodes; best to ask him. I'm opting not to
know.

*gasp* You mean you let that incredible *PERVERT* put that joke
into script work at *TWO* points, without finding out how utterly,
insegreviously, SHAMEFULLY, he'd embarrassed you and your projects
for all time, in the public eye?

You're really and truly claiming complete ignorance and innocence
in this matter? Without even having the classic Nurembergian
Defense of "I vass chust vollowink ordersss?"

Since you don't seem to realize that Peter A. David has as much
trouble with spelling as you do, I'll just give you a hint; the
word isn't "air," it's "heir."
