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)."

"Who's there?"
"Madam"
"Madam who?"
Madam's foot caught in the door!"

Rocky V. 8)

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

I'm sure richrath had a hand in it as well at the time.

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.
