Wracking my brains over some humorous interpretation, all I can get is maybe 'P(X)' is supposed to sound like 'penis'?
I'm guessing its because usually when people using the phrase "that whole x thing", x is a very simple term (usually one word), not an equation or one of the axioms of probability. Think, "that whole job thing" or "that whole guy thing".
Which explains why I didn't find it funny: I've used “whole [half a dozen words] thing” myself.
