* InnocentInnuendo: "Doctor's Office". There's something under Neil's gown that shocks all the doctors. Something hairy that David call's Neil's "Trouser Weasel". It's literally a weasel, that lives in Neil's trousers. At the end of the episode, it decides to leave his trousers, because it's very crowded due to Neil's giant cock - as in the rooster that also lives in there.
