I'm a twiddly-twat from Agnes Scott, and I dated a guy from Tech,
He took me to The Varsity, and taught me how to neck;
He fed me all those V-Dogs, and pitchers & pitchers of beer,
And now I'm the mother of a nine-pound Engineer!

John found out Paul was secretly buying shares of their publishing company.

Paul and John had always had an unwritten agreement that neither of them would own more shares than the other in their music publishing company. It was that simple. At the meeting, the numbers of shares and who owned them was read out. It seemed that McCartney had been buying up more shares unbeknownst to Lennon.

Lennon became enraged, no doubt egged on by Klein. Barbs were exchanged. Brown recalled Lennon slamming a table. And walking out. He felt he’d been betrayed.

From “The Love You Make” page 317:

When the Beatles’ Northern Stock holdings were tallied, it was disclosed that Paul had 751,000 shares of Northern Songs versus John’s 644,000. At Paul’s direction, I had been purchasing shares secretly for him in his own name.

“You bastard!” John spit. “You’ve been buying up stock behind our backs!” Paul blushed and shrugged limply. “Ooops, sorry!” he smiled.

“This is frickin’ low!” John said. “This is the first time any of us have gone behind each other’s backs.” Paul shrugged again. “I felt like I had some beanies and I wanted some more,” he said.
