FabSwingers.com forum: where did "blow jobs" come from?

I was told that the phrase "blow job" was from the victoriana times used by prostitutes offering a service "would you like a down below job mister?" below got shortened to blow and that's that. So I've done a bit of research and found that know body actually knows where it comes from. So has anyone else herd another explanation?

The QI elves came up with this explanation so it must be true . . . . . . Unless Mr Fry retracts at a later date.
