Yes.

is that jack straw on the right?

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 25 December 2002 17:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Really, it's just the expressions on these fellows' faces that gets me. The first on the left is completely blank. He is doing his job. The fellow in the middle has his chin up and steel in his eyes like he's going to the executioner. The one on the right is trying to keep from laughing. Maybe he just farted.

Isn’t there a fragment of the lyrics to that on the back cover of The Band?

Anyway, had to look that up, VG, and found this, which was pretty cool.
