OK, then, substitute the word “Bayeux” for “by you” and read it again. Is there a “joke” in the first sentence? No. The joke is in the second sentence. If it was in the first, why did he go on with the second?
In a book about the Grateful Dead, the author (a friend of the band) mentioned keyboardist Tom Constantin and “….one of the obscure multi-lingual puns that made him so lonely.”

It is also true that the Bayeux Tapestry is not a tapestry (with woven design), but an embroidery, like a sampler.
