Yeah, I don't think it has any meaning, it's simply a play on words.

I always think of Rocky V when I hear this joke... Rocky told it to his son outside of Mickey's gym.

As for what it "means"... um, well, it's pretty much exactly what it says: "You can tune a piano, but you cannot tune a fish (tuna fish)."

Madam's foot caught in the door!"

I'm surprised Cronin is such a cunning linguist. I always had him pegged as a pole smoker.

Ah, yeah, forgot about that one. That was at the beginning of the movie, right? Rocky was just full of great jokes in that film. ("Rantlers!")

Sorry, I missed that correlation. The piano must have thrown me off.



You can't tuna fish because it's scales are not melodic.
