In Mary Poppins what is the meaning of the joke about a man with a wooden leg named smith?

The joke is a misplaced modifier. When Bert says, "I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith," It appears as though the leg is named Smith, not the man. That is why Uncle Albert asks "what is the name of his other leg."
