Another classic dad joke from John…
Q: We'd like to hear what you thought about Mr Clay? John: Very tall, very tall Ringo: Oh, he's a big lad Paul: He's a great laugh, you know, more than anything Ringo: He's got a big mouth George: He's going to get Sonny Liston in three, that's what he said Paul: That's what he said Ringo: That's what he said Paul: I don't think he will though Q: I hear you were creeping up to Harry Carpenter in the training camp, Paul, and whispering things to him Paul: Yeah, well, you see, the other thing was, he asked me who was going to win, and you know, I would have told him out that I thought Liston was going to win John: But you're a coward! Paul: I'm a coward! And it was in Clay's camp, you see and there's all these big fellas sitting around, so I said 'Liston'... I had to whisper, you know John: Liston, do you want to know a secret? Paul & George: ... want to know a secret? [laughter] Ringo: We're plugging, you know, we're still trying to sell!
