Now there're a lot of gay jokes in those "comedy" skits - more than you've ever heard in under one minute, probably - but there was one line in this one that went over my head when I first came upon it. Kevin Nash turns to Jay Lethal and says, "Have you ever actually administered a Lethal Injection?" The camera then pans to Jay and he responds, "Have you ever been to Fire Island?"
When I first heard that, I tilted my head and thought, "What the hell is Fire Island?" Then I panicked at the thought that Jay Lethal and Kevin Nash might be more informed about something than me.
Turns out it's an island in New York that doubles as a gay tourism destination.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I discovered it was only gay joke number umpteen, rather than another massive gap in my geographical knowledge. I also chalked "Fire Island" down as yet another bit of information I gleaned from the world of pro wrestling.
So let that be a lesson to you: If you want to learn about homosexual culture, Kevin Nash is the best source this side of William Burroughs.
