The title of this episode is based on the following joke that reflects the good and the bad about being an entertainer: Joe was sitting on the corner stool at the bar, sunk in misery.

"Yes, I see what you mean and I've got to admit it's not the best fragrance in the world. But look here, there are openings down at the factory. You could get yourself a job there and they will probably pay better than your circus position. ""What?" said Joe, outraged. "And leave show business?"
