Obscure Sport Reference?

Post by Yellow Oval »

Does anyone know if Cesar Romero, William Dozier, or anyone else involved in the production was a fan of the sport Jai Alai? Why I ask is while watching episode 91 - Pop Goes The Joker - I looked at the sign for Joker's new art school and noticed the order of the first letters:

Joker
art
institute
----------
and
lair of
artistic
instruction

I'm wondering if it was an inside joke or reference to the sport or anything like that?
"Hmmm... I don't like the twist this joke is taking. Let us away! Let us away!"

Found the item below online:

The Jai Alai building (in the Phillipines) was completed in 1940, designed by architect Welton Becket, a friend of Hollywood celebrities and designer of the homes of such screen legends as James Cagney and Cesar Romero.
