Great album, great song.  When I first heard this piece of the album, I
was so charmed that I played it back a few times before going onward. 
Would anyone out there happen to know exactly what the joke was?  In
Stannard and Tobler's Working Class Heroes, it is mentioned that it is
one of the old sailor-in-a-bar jokes, but it doesn't say what it was. 
If anyone knows, let me know (if it's really bad, maybe you should mail
it right to me!  :-)  )  (Yeah, I know, I should be posting this to
rec.music.beatles, but it came up here first, so there, pbbbt.)
