(197) Murphy's Manor - Jerry Who?

Are we going to need historical context on this one?

HTLV-III was an early name for the AIDS virus.

Early in the AIDS crisis there was a push to track sex partners in an effort to control the virus' spread (is this still done?) Naturally gay men were reluctant to disclose this information, especially to a governmental agency -- so they gave fake names.

If there's any justice in the world,  I hope nobody remembers who the hell Jerry Falwell was.
