   I think the title is a parody of _Adventures in the Skin Trade_   
   by Dylan Thomas.  I've never read it, so I don't know if there is   
   a connection to one of the actual stories in it.   
      
   I remember liking this ep quite a bit.

           I suppose any explanation is better than none.  I would assume Rob   
   read the book.
