    A play on the opening monologue:

    Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before!

    Plus innuendo.

    Edit: The phrase “vinegar strokes” comes from the show The League meant to signify the contorted faces one makes when orgasming.

      I’m pretty sure vinegar strokes is old English slang, and that would seem to align with this British online definition of it predating the appearance on The League by 2 years.

      P. S. I will now have a totally different understanding of the song “Turning Japanese” everytime I hear it
