Remembering John Lennon.

It was during the filming of "Help", that the Beatles became aware of anything Indian (dot, not feather), as the plot was about an Indian sect that wanted to sacrifice the wearer of the ring. (Ringo Starr, of course).

When they were filming in the Bahamas, a little yogi came legging over and gave each of them a book, "The illustrated Book of Yoga". 

In this book the author illustrates things like how to cleanse the nasal passage, where he threads a string up his nose and pulls it out of his throat. There's another one which involves swallowing a bandage that's been soaked in salt and water. You swallow it all the way down and then you pull it back out. I all has to do with getting the body perfect.

John had the idea of combining the two: the nasal passage one, pulling on each end, with swallowing the bandage - and pulling it out of your arse.

From "The Beatles Anthology by The Beatles.
