-my guess is that it's from an old song or movie pop-culture thing
That you can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish.-I'd never be able to say who, but my guess would be that this is some comedy line from an older comedian like Johnny Carson or something like that.
Why there was a baby face on the bottle.?
Mississippi John Hurt.?
When the Cuyahoga River caught fire.?
