I simply assumed that, as a high-level adventurer living in Sharn, he had some form of flying item or spell.
I don't think I quite got the joke, though - maybe it's the censorship filter killing the punchline?

In the original, the flyer is a drunken Superman, whom the bartender calls a mean drunk.

Yeah, it's a recycled Superman joke. But Aasimar are humans descended from celestial beings, and are supposed to basically be Superman-types: all blonde, blue-eyed, goodness and light (their preferred character class is paladin).
And, at least in certain editions, they can fly.
The humor of the joke is predicated on finding out that Gariel was an Aasimar and knowing that they can fly.

What should you buy when a Tinker Gnome comes to town?
— A coach ticket out of town.

DON'T use any material from the movie "Punch Line"; it wasn't funny, despite being advertised as a comedy.
I could see some of the classic Saturday Night Live material being usable.
- Older PCs would know who President Ford was, the NPCs would recognize "Lord Lathameer", and the fact that he falls down every stairway can be the Bard's shtick to arrive on-stage.
- Two bards giving sly commentary on current events or noble gossip / politics. One expounds at length about fashion, rumors of trysts, &c. The other begins, "Jane you ignorant..."
- "I am Gumby d-----t" from a person dressed as a pompous noble who nobody else in the act recognizes.
- The Pathological Liar
- Belushi's samauri
- Dennis Miller's "Weekend Update"

- Only one, IF that piece of wood really does have a straight edge.
Paraphrasing my favorite lawyer joke:
Q: How many stinky Orc jokes are there?
A: Only one- all the rest are true stories.

WHat's the best way to raise a Thayan Army?
On the Gibbets!
On the Gibbets!
I was eating lunch in the pub yesterday, and at the next table, I saw this guy in red robes, mumbling something.
So I asked him, "So, what are you? Thayan?"
He shoots me a nasty look, "I wasn't talking to YOU!"
