This gag was first written down a thousand years ago - it's a very old joke.
In Episode 1, First Time, SternWriter explains the joke in excruciating detail.
In Episode 2, Second Time, he re-tells it in a student flat in the mid 1980s.
Now in Episode 3, Third Time, the joke is told once again in situation of 'extreme social tension' at a Californian NASA research centre in the early '90s.
It's a storytelling high-wire act, but if nothing else you'll end up knowing a Tang dynasty knob gag you almost certainly didn't know.
