because according to him, if you told her a joke on Monday she would laugh at it on Wednesday. Her father's family was from England but I don't really get why that characteristic (which appears to be genetic) would be associated with British sailors.

We laugh at a joke 3 times...

When we hear it.

When it's explained to us.

Two days later when we get it.
